Pros

You know what? There aren't any "Pros"...This is the worst place I've ever worked and I regret it.

Cons

1. Immediate dishonesty on pay. You're told that you will "Make more money than your friends!" and "You'll be able to buy a house working here!" during your interview...Then you get an offer letter for a cool $12 an hour. After a few months of working 50-60 hours a week and meeting goals, you do get a pay bump...Which will be disappointing when you consider how hard you worked to get it. 2. The turnover rate is just insane. You get to know a bunch of people and they're usually gone after about 3 months. It's also disgusting how a meeting is held to shame a terminated recruiter in front of the entire office. 3. Drama. It's a real-time Soap Opera of conflict and gossip. If you don't participate in the drama, you're not considered to be a team player. You're asked to spy on recruiters that are not performing well and report their every move to the DBO. 4. You will have absolutely no separation between your personal life and work. There's a super perverse idea here that if you take a day off for any reason, you're lazy or not loyal to the company mission. Expect a phone call or two from a random account manager asking you for help on something if you're out of the office for any reason. Any company event is 100% mandatory...You better show up on Saturday for that picnic or whatever lame function they've scheduled. 5. For a company that makes so much money and is so cool, the office space is boring, cheap, and dirty.

Pros

Teksystems have top rated clients in their radar and the recruiters are always ready to listen and try to give solution if there are any roadblocks as they render a comfortable platform to discuss anything regarding the contract.

Cons

pay range quoted is OK (medium ballpark) but unable to negotiate

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.
