Pros

I worked at Teksystems for over 3 years and it was great place to get entry level recruiting experience. For the most part people are there to help you and teach you how to recruit. I made lot of friends during the process and the company helped me grow both professionally and personally.

Cons

Teksystems has almost no room to growth and each office only has two roles. Either you are a recruiter or an account manager. When it comes to work life balance there is none because to be successful you have to do 60 hr work weeks to build out your clients. They will try to tell you that the culture has changed but there were several times where you will feel shame because you left early. For me I was actually reaching my bonus quarterly and I was consistently going above and beyond. However, when I decide to relocate within the company, my boss did everything within her power to stop me from leaving because the company has a high turnover.

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.
