Pros

-Incredible training within recruiting, sales, and business -Teaches grit, persistence, and building relationships

Cons

I worked at TEKsystems for over 2 years. Let's just say this, the people that are still there are working there because they haven't had a professional job outside of TEKsystems. That's their entire model...hire people straight out of college so they have no idea how much better other companies are. -Your first day you are immediately being judged by the office to see if you will last there or not, if you'll be a good recruiter, etc. -You go to lunch with the entire office (1 person each day), which is absolutely awesome and rare, but it's really to just get that "cult-like" thinking in your head immediately -The training is essentially this: "Call as many people as possible, build your network, put them to work" -There are people that are put on different "skill-sets" to recruit on, some are much easier to be successful in (specifically a skill-set called EUS at TEKsystems), and those people usually are held in high regard in the office without leadership factoring how much easier it is to get placements It's really sad because the last two directors there were actually two of the best guys I've ever met (from a personal perspective) but when they get in that role, it's like TEKsystems ruins who they are. I've seen someone become a different person after leaving that position. Go read reviews for TEKsystems in other locations - it's all the same. You will never experience politics, backstabbing, and people pretending to care about you like you will there. Everyone pushes you to be successful by pretending they are your family and care about you, but if you leave (even in a positive way), they won't reach out to you anymore.

Pros

good contract customer was expectin at least a year plus of working with a a company called microsoft. made good friends at the last job i did with them.

Cons

contract barely lasted 5 months for me, less for others. I felt used as a tax write off, They laid us off without notice. We had suspected it would happen again after the first time 300 people got let go. When it happened the first time we were surprised now the second time I got to be angry. They lack communication and knowing how to handle an overpopulated work place and proper protocol about laying people off. for some people who relocated and they have still not recieved pay and since their contract is over they may not even recieve it.
