Pros

- Good job availability - Decent communication between recruiters and management - Offer some computer based training to keep contractors skills competitive

Cons

- Charge high bill rate to employer, and pay their contractors way less than they are worth If they charge $35/Hr to an employer...they will pay you half of that, or less The money that you aren't getting paid goes to your recruiter+account manager bonuses - No holiday or vacation pay If you work directly for TEK, you get salary+benefits and vacation pay...contractors get none of this - Very aggressive towards their contractors when they want to find work elsewhere (if the recruiter or account manager finds out that you are looking for other opportunities, they will try to hold it against you or con you into staying with a sub-par contract - Mob Mentality) - Horrible and overpriced benefits package (not worth having, when you can find it cheaper on your own)

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.
