Pros

Foot in the door into the IT industry for some one fresh out of school. That's it.

Cons

After losing out on a major bid, TEKsystem's forced everyone out of their jobs, (even though the company TEK was supplying contractors too, wanted to keep us all on) , they offered all the exiting contractors the same three bad short term contracts jobs that didn't match our skill sets. Leaving us with the choice of employment, fighting each other over a small amount of low paying jobs that didn't further our careers, or a lawsuit for breaching contract. I have never seen a company behave more unprofessionally.

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.
