Pros

The training you get here will allow you to work for most other companies as a recruiter.

Cons

There is a lot of Micromanagement from the Top down. All of TEKsystems policies on how to recruit from people that haven't recruited since the 80s. Their is a culture of favortism that is woven into the fabric of TEKsystems. The benefits are awful. The Contests went from averaging 10k a year to 15k a year. This basically makes it very difficult for anyone but established recruiters at TEKsystems to make the most compensation, win trips. Turn over rate is usually 40 percent per office and around 65 percent in 2009.

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.
