Pros

Tons of networking opportunities with people in the industry, can really help people succeed in their own personal lives, opportunity to give yourself a raise each day. If you are good at your job you will have career opportunities presented to you. Working on diversity and inclusion too.

Cons

Insanely low salary based on the emotional stress and lack of work life balance. This company constantly promoted buzz words like work life balance but it could t be further from the truth. This is not a company that has your emotional well being at the forefront. They make a day dedicated to this per quarter but yet every other day is focused on what have you done for me lately. This job is a grind and will literally run your ragged mentally until you get out.

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.
