Pros

Invests heavily in training new employees, great place to learn the craft of recruiting, great place to make professional friends and contacts. You can make mid-high 6 figure total comp.

Cons

Greedy corporate leadership, year over year revenues and profits hit all time highs yet they continue to shrink incentives and compensation. They are run from Baltimore and local Directors typically are puppets. They require you to sell from their "portfolio" of services and lack creativity in crafting or delivering solutions. Typically this is what the client wants, something that is different than every other staffing/ services company out there.

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.
