Pros

Great People - company cares about your personal well being - a lot of out of office events. Work/Life balance (after you have estabilished yourself - expect to work hard the first few years) Great company to start a career and learn business skills Reputable organization, privately held Team environment, yet still competitive. Potential to make great $ while helping IT Profesionals with their careers.

Cons

The industry/job itself can be tough. There is a bad stereotype out there for recruiters and you are always the "middle man." It can be a roller coaster ride as people tend to put you in bad business situations on a regular basis. Must be resilient, good problem solver and not take things personally. TEKsystems does have some micromanagement that can be frustrating but the reality is that all sales companies are number based and the "micromanagement" does help make sure you are NOT in a position where a few months in, you are out of work because you didn't hit your numbers. If you are doing well and bringing in sales for the company, there is less micromanagement, so just work hard and smart!

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.
