ADCO Reviews

I have been working at ADCO full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – hours, life/work balance, stable (as long as emiratization is not fully implemented), gym, pool, restaurant

Cons – no yearly salary increase, discrimination between expats/locals, women do not get same benefits as men if they are not head of families, bad appraisal system, no motivation to work if you are not friends with the boss

Advice to Senior Management – treat expats/locals the same, give women same benefits as men even if not head of families, change the appraisal system (the PCR is not fair), please increase salary every year, 5 years and no salary increase is not fair.

I have been working at ADCO full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Situated in excellent country, good for those who have family with smaller children

Cons – No salary increase, limited career for expat, No (or extremely low) field allowance for office based employees

Advice to Senior Management – Learn from other big companies how to handle company and their employee, ADCO has unused potential to be the best employer, just need willingness.
