Pros

Some directors are great with supporting those who are struggling. They’ll do review sessions to help pinpoint what you’re doing well and what’s not going so well. It helps to get that feedback and without it some may feel super lost with nothing to grasp on to for life support.

Cons

The culture sucks! Some directors or leaders act like it’s a frat. They form cliques and pretend they care about everyone but they don’t. They will share information with some people in the team/in the office, and once word spreads they make passive comments about how they have to share it with everybody and be better at communication or they’re gonna get crucified by everyone. They just changed to a 5 day in office standard to drive performance yet there is not much to work on in the slow market. At the beginning of the year they preached that we would be okay through this recession and no one would be affected yet they started being super stingy on expenses and just rolled out their first wave of layoffs. If you want to feel safe and secure in your job this is not the one!

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.
