Pros
TEK's training is the best in the industry. They take their time and walk you through each step of the recruiting cycle. You get to meet everyone in the office one-on-one to build internal relationships and have access to the best database of candidates in the industry. If you have just graduated college, this is a great environment because your lack of other commitments in your life, like children or a spouse, will allow you to put the time in to become successful. People who make it past the 2.5-3 year mark are usually compensated very well for their efforts.
Cons
Do not be mis-informed: This job is the service industry. The same way that a bartender makes more money if they take more shifts and work holidays, a recruiter will make more money the more hours they work. In the same likeness, just because you work long hours, that doesn't mean you will get compensated well because there are so many variables to your compensation structure when it comes to commission. You can only control so much of the process and there are a lot of things that you don't have control over that affect your income. Also, they hate the word "micromanagement" but I'm not sure what else to call it when someone tells you what to say, when to say it, and how to say it. Then, they have meetings twice a day to go over how you did just that. You'll feel like you have autonomy at first but you will realize that management has no interest in hearing new or creative ways to engage with your consultants. Lunch is paid for but its because you work through lunch with consultants and charge those meals on your own credit card, which for most millennials comes with a high interest rate. Having credit card debt actually works in TEKs favor because it gives you something to work for! (Getting out of debt!) Finally, if you are thinking about taking a job here, do NOT sign the non-compete without really looking over it. You are essentially agreeing that if you leave, you will not recruit anywhere for the next 18 months, even if it is in a different industry. What other job would you take where you can't work in your skill set for a year and a half after you leave?
