Pros

Great People - company cares about your personal well being - a lot of out of office events. Work/Life balance (after you have estabilished yourself - expect to work hard the first few years) Great company to start a career and learn business skills Reputable organization, privately held Team environment, yet still competitive. Potential to make great $ while helping IT Profesionals with their careers.

Cons

The industry/job itself can be tough. There is a bad stereotype out there for recruiters and you are always the "middle man." It can be a roller coaster ride as people tend to put you in bad business situations on a regular basis. Must be resilient, good problem solver and not take things personally. TEKsystems does have some micromanagement that can be frustrating but the reality is that all sales companies are number based and the "micromanagement" does help make sure you are NOT in a position where a few months in, you are out of work because you didn't hit your numbers. If you are doing well and bringing in sales for the company, there is less micromanagement, so just work hard and smart!

Pros

Recruiters are friendly and engaged *at first

Cons

My experience with TEKsystems revealed major issues in how candidates are managed and communicated with. After completing all onboarding requirements and being told I was cleared for a role, I was even welcomed by the client as part of the team and informed that I would be starting soon. At that point, I reasonably expected a smooth transition into the position. Instead, communication from the recruiting team became inconsistent and, eventually, nonexistent. Several promised updates never arrived. I had to initiate contact repeatedly just to confirm basic information, and responses often came late, from different people, or with no context. At one point, I was told the team “wasn’t aware I was still available,” despite multiple documented interactions showing I had remained fully engaged and ready to begin. The most concerning part was being asked to re‑interview for a role I had already been cleared for — a clear sign that my status was not being tracked internally. Even after that second interview, I received no follow‑up from the recruiters who were supposed to be coordinating the process. I ultimately learned the client had moved forward with someone else, but only because I reached out directly. TEKsystems never communicated this themselves, nor did they provide any explanation for the breakdown in communication. TEKsystems works with reputable clients and offers solid opportunities, but candidates should be prepared to advocate for themselves constantly. In my experience, even being fully onboarded, welcomed by the client, and told I was part of the team did not guarantee proper follow‑through. Clear, consistent, and accountable communication is essential in staffing — and unfortunately, that was not my experience here.
