Pros

They have a decent training program. They will teach you a lot of useful information that you can use down the road.

Cons

Very cliquish. If you aren't a recent college graduate you won't fit in well. They promote based on looks and how liked you are by your employees. They don't value your success unless you stop making them money. Beware once the "TEK Kool-aid" runs out so will your job. Once you start to see the light and how it isn't a "perfect" environment they will let you go because you don't fit the "culture". If you enjoy time with your family away from work then stay away from TEK.

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.
