Pros

Good on-boarding and training program, good bonuses and commission structure, benefits are offered but expensive, most people in the company are young and money hungry which can promote healthy competition among recruiters and account managers.

Cons

You are expected to have a "servant mentality" (their words, not mine) to the company, your clients and consultants. You are expected to work overtime every day (your on salary, so no extra pay) and they constantly remind you that you should be working nights and weekends from home. So, basically no work or life balance. The company's retention rate is poor across the board and if you are a successful recruiter your only option is to become an account manager and start over again and you actually take a pay cut just to be promoted. Their company culture is a joke, senior management expects too much and rewards recruiters with too little. Your job is essentially to source and find the top technical professionals in the world and get them to do a job for as little as possible, which TEK charges double that rate to the company to hire that person - so the only person that wins is TEK. It's a very profitable business model, but not one you can stand by if you actually have morales.

Pros

Since they hire a lot of people right out of college, it's a great place to learn a lot and to start your career. It is also a lot of fun for someone young and I met a lot of great people.

Cons

The management style is over the top micromanagement. You have to work long hours and it almost seems like you could never do enough. Way too many unneccessary processes.

Pros

- Descent base salary coming out of college - Great work culture, young, energetic, positive - Hard work pays off, big incentives for hitting numbers - great training program - gets your prepared for the real world - good starter position Overall Teksystems is a good place to start your career. In a time where its difficult to find jobs out of school Tek is always hiring young talent.

Cons

- Long hours - Not much work/life balance - Not much room for promotion, outside of sales Tek is a good place to start a career, but thats about it. Unless you love sales there isn't much room for advancement past that. The hours are rough, minimum hours are 745-530, but if you wanna hit your numbers its more like 730-6. The opportunity to make good money is there, but it doesn't come easy. You are expendable, the job security is only there if you are hitting your numbers, the length of employment does not matter. Not a career job, not a place where you will spend 20-30 yrs, get the experience and move on
