Pros

Good reps in the deep end that can help you get a better talent acquisition job elsewhere

Cons

Where do I begin. Go back and look at the history of the greater panhandle TEKsystems offices. They have been "hiring" for about a decade. They hire too many people for the amount of commission that is to go around and then manage out people that don't instantly achieve success. Completely unrealistic. Would never recommend this company to anyone. Heavy drinking culture and you are randomly expected to stay until far after 5pm to work on the most pointless job reqs. Certain leaders in the panhandle are also incredibly volatile and emotional. The one i'm referencing loves to walk into the office in the morning and if they are having a bad day everyone is having a bad day and you better not approach him. Absolute nightmare of an employer/boss. Shady practices all around and if you are considering contracting for them, just know the rate they are billing the actual employer is likely double the rate they are paying you.

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.
