Pros

- Easy entry into IT for someone needing a starting point - Access to tons of online training courses with Skill Point - Decent selection of online tools (HR, pay, time submission, career tools, etc)

Cons

- Minimal guidance and communication from management. - From my experience, this is really "just a job" with minimal opportunities to advance. - Benefits are practically non existent. Acceptance of any type of benefit results in a substantial pay cut and renegotiation of your contract. (for example, you will get paid a couple bucks less an hour if you opt for vacation days) - Expected to work holidays without any kind of compensation

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.
