Pros

As a recent college graduate, you will be surrounded by people your age so the possibility of making friends is about the only pro I can possibly think of.

Cons

I was super excited to accept a job at TEKsystems corporate office which was named #43 on FORTUNE magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” list for 2015. I was a successful college graduate and the worst decision I made post grad was accepting a job at TEK. Honestly, if TEK is one of the best companies to work for I don't even want to know how people are treated in companies that aren't on this list. For the first couple of months all I would hear is "It will get better..." I can assure you, IT WON'T. You will fail under the current leadership (or lack thereof), you will be walking on egg shells every day, you will wake up miserable having to go to work and you will leave work miserable. This is not the entry level job for anyone that wants development. This is a quote from my senior manager, "Overtime is not required, but it kind of is." You will not have a healthy work life balance, life actually sucks working at the corporate office as a BOA. You make $16 an hour, its not worth it.

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.
