Pros

Many office locations, so opportunities can be found around the southeastern US.. Access to their Skillport site if you are inclined to self-study and want to learn new skills or freshen older ones.

Cons

I was forewarned, but chose to take a chance anyway. Fortunately, I only have a week left as I write this. Never think that you are more than a paycheck to them. No benefits, no paid time off, no raises, no reimbursement for achieving vendor certifications or credentials on your own, not much regular contact once you are placed. You will seldom hear from your either your recruiter or your account manager unless there is a problem, and sometimes not even then!. Don't expect support if something does go wrong - your work site pays them, not you, so you are expendable. The person that referred me to them still has not received the referral fee they were promised. Good luck when your contract ends!

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.
