Pros

The training they implemented in the spring of 2021 is great, especially if you’re in a delivery center. I learned how to recruit here.

Cons

This company is so backwards I don’t even know where to start. The base pay is nearly unlivable - $45k starting. The commission structure starts at 1%! When I left TEK I found places that were paying double the base salary and had a starting commission of 10%. They won’t let you do 360 recruiting. The management does not care about anyone. They spew a bunch of BS about caring about your career growth but if it doesn’t work for them, then you’re stuck where you are forever until you inevitably leave because they’re constantly pushing good, ambitious people out the door. The culture is so unprofessional. I worked in a delivery center that had people drinking at noon, hitting on their coworkers consistently, and even had someone pee in public at the Christmas party, had the cops called on them, and didn’t get penalized. Their “ideals” are ass-backwards, too. Nothing management does makes sense and they’re all a bunch of old white guys who don’t care about you. They also push you to spill your deepest secrets in front of the entire company (with some people breaking down in tears) which is so manipulative. This is the type of place that calls themselves a “family” to blur the lines between normal work life and your home life and personal commitments, but will never think twice about you after you leave.

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.
