Pros

The culture is amazing. I love the people I work with directly.

Cons

The pay is super low and you barely get bonuses which is something they lead with. There is no professional development plan for this role to move up. You can either become a recruiter or quit. The mamagement of the RFM is all over the place. No follow up...no action plan. It is almost like they are winging it for training. CSA turnover is high because of the way management treats CSA's Our role is considered HR everywhere else but here it is customer support associate which means you will not be getting paid to do HR work but you will still be doing HR work underpaid only because the title is that. They say they have an open door policy but really its not because if you try to talk to anyone over your bosses head because things are not being taken care of you are repremended. I know the company values however I feel like from a CSA world they do not care about us because we can be replaced so they don't want to put in effort or work with us to help us grow. The only thing that the president of the company cares about is the recruiters and account managers that make him and the company more money. CSA just cut the check and anyone can do that so why would they go the extra mile to help us.

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.
