Pros

There are only a handful of bright spots when it comes to working with TEKsystems. The first being that the company offers a good foundation for recruiter training. You will learn how to recruit and hopefully be good at it. The one real benefit of working at TEK is that you can end up going to a bigger and better company if you stick it out and network with the right people. The pay is not bad. Best advice is to get your experience and get out!

Cons

There are far too many cons to list. Some of the biggest cons would be working in a negative environment where everyone hates their job, as well as quickly learning that you can't trust most people around you because everyone is only looking out for themselves and will sabotage you to get on top. There is no work culture. You are a cog in a machine. You also learn that the company will not hesitate to get rid of the recruiters who are not performing well. The leadership is subpar and is filled with micromanagers and people who push the idea of "Its my way or the highway". Work hours are horrible (8am to 6pm). You are shamed for leaving early or coming in late. HIGH attrition: In the short time that I was there, 24 recruiters had left the company. If you stay too long, the only companies who will look at you are other agencies. Management will make you feel horrible for leaving and will basically tell you that you will fail outside of tek.

Pros

good contract customer was expectin at least a year plus of working with a a company called microsoft. made good friends at the last job i did with them.

Cons

contract barely lasted 5 months for me, less for others. I felt used as a tax write off, They laid us off without notice. We had suspected it would happen again after the first time 300 people got let go. When it happened the first time we were surprised now the second time I got to be angry. They lack communication and knowing how to handle an overpopulated work place and proper protocol about laying people off. for some people who relocated and they have still not recieved pay and since their contract is over they may not even recieve it.
