Pros

You will do well as long as you serve them. Meaning as long as you meet your numbers and quota for the month they love you.

Cons

They want career driven people and not family oriented people. If you’re hired and are a woman they tell you you’ll have to take clients out to lunch/dinner/drinks meetings. They want you to sell yourself. Which can cause issues in your relationship if your spouse isn’t secure. Next if you’re a new mom they will begin to treat you diff. They won’t be as patient with you if motherly emergencies happen. I lost my job because I chose being a mother over a recruiter. So consider the lifestyle you want if you’re a family oriented person. You will have long days and be away from your kids/spouse. But if you are money driven like they want you to be. They won’t care ...

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.
