Pros

Met some great people. You can become a manager very quickly if you buy into their awful culture and "play the game" the way they like.

Cons

Worst and most toxic environment in which I've ever worked. TEK is ranked in the top 100 companies to work for every year, but it's only because of the sales offices. The entire company stands on the shoulders of overworked and underpaid 20-something college grads working in AR who don't earn the huge commissions or get trips to Cancun every year like the recruiters and account managers. The company psychologically and emotionally manipulates young people in their first real jobs, who don't understand they deserve better. A senior level executive even told my team that they employ a psychologist to develop their "culture". They claim their "culture" of emotional honesty and criticism is a strength, but it's just another twisted justification for the mistreatment of employees. Almost everyone who realizes the issues and leaves this company is hired immediately at a much better company and makes $10k+ more per year.

Pros

TEKSystems has a large portfolio of sub-par contract vacancies that they fill with sub-par people who are desperate enough to work with TEKSystems. The positive reviews here about TEKSystems come from their recruiters, not their contractors. Highly likely that the recruiters are asked to leave reviews here.

Cons

They're absolutely dishonest. I worked three different contracts for TEKSystems in three different places and in all instances I was lied to. False promises were made and and recommendations were made that I later found out were tax evasion. The most dishonest people rise to the top at TEKSystems. If you have any skills, stay away.

Pros

They will hire anyone, so if you absolutely need to make ends meet, this will get you through.

Cons

You will not be valued or taken seriously. They will try to convince you they have a culture, and an open communication policy. Upper management will tell you to be curious, ask questions, seek advice, all of the basic "you need these to succeed" qualities. While that is all good and you should do that in any job, it ultimately does not matter at TEK. Nothing you do will make you stand out. The deal is, unless you are higher up in the company, no one will respect or care about you, and it will be known. There is a horrible team culture here. Directors will make jokes and sigh if they hear a story about an account lead disrespecting a recruiter. That is not what you want in a company. I could not personally disagree more with how this company is run. As a recruiter, you will be forced to hit metrics to the point where your directors don't care about how many starts you have as long as you are hitting your activity. Every recruiter is constantly worried about their weekly activity, if they will keep their job, and highly stressed. It is the worst culture I have ever witnessed and seen, especially from a company that values their 'culture'. Please do not work here, unless you absolutely have to.
