Pros

No pros to explain about this company at all. I didn't like how they treated me for a year and a half. Also they need more benefits with their contractors.

Cons

First of all I would like to say that this company does not take care of their employees financially or beneficially. I was on a temporary contractor sub contracted through TEK and Leidos. I worked for Leidos but got paid through TEK. I know for a fact that my contract cost 150k to be a CHCS/AHLTA administrator for the 2 medical programs that all military medical personnel use. They only paid me 34k yearly out of that 150k contract. Low balling your employees is pathetic! I didn't get any overtime, no paid leave, no holiday pay or even paid leave. 6 months into the job I try to argue with my recruiter for more money. Only getting paid $18 an hour is ridiculous for the responsibility and duties I had with this job. I had the power to grant access as a database administrator to active duty air force members and civilians ranging from contractors, any GS level and ranks from E1-E9 and O1-O6. Not to mention air force medical personnel is the hardest most whiny people to work with because they don't understand IT and the process of fixing or granting access. So I didn't tell my recruiter that I got a new job and just left them hanging. I now get paid $36 an hour working a field service tech position for CSRA. A WAY BETTER COMPANY WHO TAKES CARE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES BETTER THAN TEK!!!! HAHAHA

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.
