Pros

-Great learning opportunity of a corporate environment. -Training is great. You can learn to sell. -Opportunity for advancement if you enjoy sales in this capacity. -Chance to make money.

Cons

A very aggressive environment from management. I believe you should be pushed through self motivation and through superiors but at Tek you are expected to work at least 60 hours a week. While no one will say anything about you doing less, you are given the impression that you are not working hard enough. Balancing work and life are not possible with this company. If you are money hungry it's the place for you. If you are not into a lot of cold-calls, do not apply for this job. You are on the phone at least 85% of the day and if that easily bores/tires you, you are not going to enjoy this position. The company also has a very open policy as far as the personal lives of those that work for them. I'm a very work oriented person that separates work and personal. Everyone knows everyone's business, the culture promotes that. Just understand what you are getting into.

Pros

Teksystems have top rated clients in their radar and the recruiters are always ready to listen and try to give solution if there are any roadblocks as they render a comfortable platform to discuss anything regarding the contract.

Cons

pay range quoted is OK (medium ballpark) but unable to negotiate

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.
