Pros

TEK prides itself on customer relationship building and customer intimacy. They taught us to be very high touch, very engaged and involved with our contractors & clients and to develop & train the next generation of TEK folks. It's a very collaborative, high energy, hard working group of people. The training cannot be compared to any other staffing agency. TEK devotes a lot of time & money in their recruiters & sales people. If you ever are thinking of entering the staffing world, TEK is a great place to get started. With the fast paced work place, the model to always address your issues & gripes immediately, and the recruiter & sales model... you develop very close relationships with your co workers soon after.

Cons

CONS: They do not invest enough in their senior level producers, not the ones that are bestfriends with the "right people" but the ones that are really producing & making the office money & building the best relationships out there. TEK needs to stop hiring just to meet numbers. Quality has got to be put as a priority - not quantity. There is not a good work/life balance. They work you hard, but that's what has built TEK's repuation within the staffing industry. Many TEK folks now have their own families. Having a family or having extra curriculum activities to tend to right after work is not as supported. The lack of community service & involvement. This company makes a lot of money - and so do those that work there. Very little effort is made from HR to promote these things.

Pros

good contract customer was expectin at least a year plus of working with a a company called microsoft. made good friends at the last job i did with them.

Cons

contract barely lasted 5 months for me, less for others. I felt used as a tax write off, They laid us off without notice. We had suspected it would happen again after the first time 300 people got let go. When it happened the first time we were surprised now the second time I got to be angry. They lack communication and knowing how to handle an overpopulated work place and proper protocol about laying people off. for some people who relocated and they have still not recieved pay and since their contract is over they may not even recieve it.
