Pros

There are a ton of great people at TEKsystems and I've made a ton of great friendships here. It is also a great company to start your career in because you get a lot of exposure to how lots of different Fortune 500 companies run. As a recruiter you also are exposed to many different skill sets which is good too. Everyone works on commission as well and there are some people in my office who are in their mid/late-20s and are making well over $150 -200k/year. If money motivates you then TEK is your place to be.

Cons

Aside from moving into Account Management there aren't too many other options to grow in the company. They have lead positions but I don't think being a lead is much different than being a senior recruiter. There is also a standing 8am meeting at every TEKsystems office in the nation. If you're not a morning person then this won't be the place for you.

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.
