Pros

TEKsystems is more than just a job to pay the bills. It is a place to build a career. There is a direct correlation between the effort and commitment you put in, to what you will get in return. The training program is very strong and can help prepare anyone who is eager to learn to be a successful recruiter. Long term the compensation and career growth is phenominal but you definitely need to make it through the same challenge of starting building a network and learning the industry, as you would with any long term, relationship building sales position.

Cons

The staffing industry can be very challenging. You are not going to be able to help everyone, which can be very frustrating. With those who you are able to help, not all will be appreciative. This is a client-driven organization, which means that you will not be working 9am-5pm. You will need to be capable of responding to your clients or consultants when they need you, not when it is convenient for you.

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.
