Pros

Excellent office location. Friendly coworkers. Dedicated employees. Opportunity for diverse experience when working for different clients.

Cons

Competitive resources would not stay long. Bad mid-level management. The Center keeps and promotes lousy managers who have no idea why the business is going down because of themselves. There is a personal experience for an example. My vacation requests were postponed year after year because the center can't bill the clients for vacation time. I agreed to do that again and again when the managers asked me to for the favor of the company. Of course the close-minded managers couldn't care less about my life. When I left the company, the center refused to pay me my remaining vacation balance. So basically the company had taken advantage of my kindness and dedication to the company.

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.
