Pros

Weekly pay and yes that's about it.

Cons

Teksystems low balls you into taking pay that's slightly above minimum wage. When your one year review comes up, they come up with an excuse not to give you a raise on the lines of not having enough experience even though I personally took up 20 different roles at once. I understand that their clients are cheap and Teksystems needs to make money as well, but when you low ball your contract workers they low ball your client as well. When I had enough of their excuses and quit, they decided to send me my last check in the mail which cause me to be late on my bills and cause me to get overdraft from my bank. That's why I signed up as part of a class action lawsuit against Teksystems.

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.
