Pros

Paid weekly on Wednesday Hiring process was really organized

Cons

-Terrible health insurance -You’re expected to make $12 dollars an hour until you hit a certain “spread” -They just dropped the base by 10k and changed the commission structure -You’re expected to underpay the people you recruit to get your spread to be higher. I heard multiple times that our competitors were offering them high salaries. -Management is super toxic. There were a lot of sexist comments made to me. There was a ton of drinking in the office and if you don’t participate, they say you’re not a cultural fit. There was open drug use at company outings. -You were expected to work 12 hour days.

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.
