Pros

This is a great place to learn a lot about the staffing world. TEKsystems does a very good job in training its new hires. They work individually with you to teach you the ins and outs of the market and the industry. Additionally, there are a lot of people there with fun and positive attitude that makes it an enjoyable place to come to work (for the most part).

Cons

Once you start talking about management and the overall philosophy and culture of TEKsystems, it becomes a different story. They seem to preach a lot about putting their people first, yet seem trigger happy when it comes to kicking them to the curb. If you are looking to be rewarded for your performance, don't work at TEKsystems. I have waited a long time to write this review because I did not want to be a "former employee scorned." The smoke has cleared and I still believe that TEKsystems is not a safe place to work. No one should be constantly in fear for their job.

Pros

TEK always comes in clutch when you need something right away. Never had a bad Engagement Manager either

Cons

Not sufficient benefits for contracts, sometimes contracts are wishy-washy on 'End Date'

Pros

- Decent pay to start. - Account manager is responsive, engaging, and a serious advocate for you and your contract. - Gain access to Udemy Business to build more skills.

Cons

- The benefits suck. - High recruiter turnover with highly variable experience trying to work with them-- some are good, most are not. - Once you are placed, you will be promised regular meetings and then never hear from the recruiter again. - Trying to find a new contract if you are unhappy with your current placement is nearly impossible and I don't believe they are incentivized to help you move at all. - You have to manually request a raise and depending on how you negotiated your contract, you may or may not have the ability to receive one. - There is a cap to how much they will pay you for the contract so even if you work that position 4 years, once you hit that cap you are stuck. I originally submitted my resume with TekSystems when I had finished my degree and never heard back. Many years later, I was approached on LinkedIn by a TekSystems recruiter for a position and he had no idea I was in the system previously. Working with him was good, and I did get the position. Then I never heard from him again and I've had 4 or 5 different recruiters whose names I could not tell you if I tried since then. There's supposed to be monthly calls, they never happen.
