TEKsystems reviews

TEKsystems truly was an environment of habitual verbal and social abuse. Throughout my (thankfully, short) tenure at the organization, I consistently witnessed an incredibly toxic culture that permeated every facet of the corporation. Management, Sales, and Senior Recruitment all displayed despicable behavior towards peers & colleagues - favoritism, sexism, and sexual harassment were all present on a daily basis. The unsavory reviews prior to mine are honest reflections of the organization. In short, TEKsystems simply lacks in so many key areas. There is a lack of transparency that management continually conveys regarding job responsibilities & promotion. There is a lack of work/life balance for all employees, regardless of tenure or external responsibility. There is a lack of compassion and empathy when you fail. Yet, the worst injustice is the complete lack of awareness displayed by core leadership. My displeasure with how I was treated was communicated on numerous occasions, with absolutely no attempt at remediation from Corporate...until my exit interview.

They forgot I existed for 3 years, then tried to make it up by taking me out for wings once a month. (Too little, too late and too much alcohol for the Recruiter) I would much rather have had them just slide me over the $100 they paid for the recruiters to sit there in front of me and get drunk once a month. Oh and somehow every recruiter felt that it was ok to drive home after drinking 2-3 double whiskeys. They lie, they tell you over and over how they don't get paid that much for you, but in comparison to other contracting companies they always short change their workers, and if it wasn't for us they would not exist. Example: The company I was contracted to was paying the exact same rate for my co-worker and I, for the sake of anonymity lets pretend it was $45 hr, that is how much the company paid the contracting companies for us. My co-worker who was through a different contracting company took home $30 an hour and had 2 weeks paid vacation and paid holidays. I took home $28.00 hr from TekSystems with no paid vacation or paid holidays for 9 years. But TekSystems would tell me they were loosing money on me. How is that even possible? No paid vacation, unless they also take that money out of your check. I could go on but the memories of this company cause me to have panic attacks so I have to end.
