Pros

Paycheck no problem and decent placement (once they get engaged with an actual position lead). Vendor recognition seemed ok with clients.

Cons

They are notoriously horrible at communicating, partly due to almost constant turnover (seemingly) of recruiters and account managers and each new person I dealt with seemed clueless as to my placement, skills, rate, and even on the actual length of employment on existing contract. Very in-personable bordering on unprofessional. When I did hear from them it was merely so they could get leads into company I was at or see if I knew anyone they could place somewhere else. Also, several times they called me announcing my contract termination date was approaching while the client I was at either already renewed the contract or communicated with me and TEK of their intention to renew. Yet when my contract did finally end recently they reached out to me two different weeks later asking why I had not submitted time recently!

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.
