Pros

lots of opportunities and recruiters seem friendly

Cons

if they know people who you have worked or do work at your current job, they will call them (all) and talk to them about you (even if you never actual worked with that person) and they do clearly not care who that reaches (ex: your boss). also, if you don't accept the job they want to place you in, if you get the recruiter I did, she will whine and complain while using the worst excuses on the planet to explain why you should take the job you're overly qualified for and go backward in your career to fill they position they need a person for and what you were promised they would look for.

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.
