Pros
You will learn a lot about the domain within IT that you are assigned to. They want everyone to be experts in their space so it becomes second nature to recruit your specific skill set.
Cons
HORRIBLE culture. TEKSystems purposefully breaks individuals down once they join the organization. It’s almost like a form of hazing. Account managers will ignore your submissions, your calls will be picked apart, etc. They expect you to throw away anything you’ve ever learned in the past and adopt their way of thinking. The individuals who they want to succeed are chosen from the very start of their career there; everyone else is expected to grind and “prove” they deserve to work there. There’s this unspoken expectation that you should work 60+ hours a week as a new recruiter. They want you to think like a work horse and ultimately be a work horse. Tenured individuals literally do whatever they want with no questions asked whether they are performing or not. Leadership is TERRIBLE. They pretend to be genuine and use the aspects that they know about your personal life against you. It’s so bad. All work events surround drinking... even training. You’re expected to drink but don’t get drunk cause then you’ll get fired. Majority of my office was on some type of upper drugs to make it through the week. I could seriously go on and on and on about how awful the culture is. Stay away; it’s really not worth it. There’s so many other recruiting agencies that won’t suck the life out of you.
