Pros

As a 4 billion dollar company you do get insight into a large corporate structure and network. TEK overall has a great training program, and is a solid place to get your foot in the recruiting world. If you're lucky to be at an office with strong leadership the work can be rewarding as well. I also fondly look back upon the relationships I fostered with my consultants.

Cons

Lets start with the fact that they pay you $12/hour until you successfully recruit a certain sales quota. During this "training" period you go through mindless activities and exercises that are a complete waste of time. Therefore, rather than learning on the job you waste time doing things like role plays. I would much rather have spent those hours working towards "earning" my salary. Which brings me to my next point, the hours. TEK breeds a culture where getting in at 7:45 is considered late and leaving before 6 is considered early (didn't matter how much work you had completed). Next, I will particularly only phrase about the Charleston office; the culture is absolutely terrible and "Senior Leadership" are just tenured individuals who only care for themselves. The individual who oversees this office should NEVER be allowed to be in a leadership role.

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.
