If you’re ok with accepting lies from management, then this is the perfect job for you! If you’re ok with speaking the truth only to be shut down with more lies, then this isn’t the job for you. You can give a person knowledge but you can’t make them think. Some people want to remain fools because the truth requires changes. If you lack in integrity, this is the perfect job for you! Too many politics, great workers getting blacklisted for not conforming to the lies they tell. No structure, no organization, lack of great leaders, and too many incompetent leaders. Everyone turns a blind eye when there is clear evidence of discrimination and corporate injustice. Teksystems is the epitome of a corporation atrocity! Don’t waste your time going to HR because they will side with management. The new motto is “Own Change” but are they really??? I don’t think so. No one wants to see or own change: especially if it means taking the fun out of the work environment such as drinking liquor and smoking marijuana at the job. I’ve never worked for a company where people are open about their drug use. Teksystems is a drug free work environment and should be providing a safe work environment and yet they do not. It’s a high stressed environment when it doesn’t need to be if great leaders were in place.

Pros

As a 4 billion dollar company you do get insight into a large corporate structure and network. TEK overall has a great training program, and is a solid place to get your foot in the recruiting world. If you're lucky to be at an office with strong leadership the work can be rewarding as well. I also fondly look back upon the relationships I fostered with my consultants.

Cons

Lets start with the fact that they pay you $12/hour until you successfully recruit a certain sales quota. During this "training" period you go through mindless activities and exercises that are a complete waste of time. Therefore, rather than learning on the job you waste time doing things like role plays. I would much rather have spent those hours working towards "earning" my salary. Which brings me to my next point, the hours. TEK breeds a culture where getting in at 7:45 is considered late and leaving before 6 is considered early (didn't matter how much work you had completed). Next, I will particularly only phrase about the Charleston office; the culture is absolutely terrible and "Senior Leadership" are just tenured individuals who only care for themselves. The individual who oversees this office should NEVER be allowed to be in a leadership role.

Pros

Possibility to make a lot of money

Cons

Recruiters are disposable to them- if you’re not at your “growth line” they will fire you and replace you Work-life-balance is non-existent. The work you do is quantitatively measured every day- you should prepare to be micromanaged.
