Pros

Tek does do it very well when it comes to recruiting and understands the tools they use very well and there capabilities. If you are a strong producer you can make great money. You make many great friends along the way.

Cons

People are treated so poorly, whether you are a top producer or not, as long as you suck up to leadership you are safe. Such an unprofessional environment and people. As a "top producer" and "multiple contest" winner, I have been told many times Im not good enough, dont do enough, blamed for others their incompetantcies. High turnover, 135% in 12 months. Bleed Tek blue or get out.

Pros

TEK always comes in clutch when you need something right away. Never had a bad Engagement Manager either

Cons

Not sufficient benefits for contracts, sometimes contracts are wishy-washy on 'End Date'

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.
