Pros

It seems my experience with Tek Systems was above and beyond what some people get. I entered into a contract that they placed me in right out of college and have been working with them on and off when ever I needed work. They've always placed me quickly and my salary raised at a rate that I thought was appropriate although their seems to be a ceiling in the temporary support/technician area. The recruiter I worked with was always professional and even seemed to listen to where I wanted to head and moved me as best he could. The account rep that I almost exclusively worked with also did his best to keep me posted and find better jobs for me every time a contract would end. A company that I had worked for with TekSystems recently had an opening for a full time position, and even though they had a service agreement and I was currently under contract TekSystems caused 0 trouble when I moved over to that company. Paper work was always simple, and the support staff was excellent. Reimbursement for mileage and other expenses was always prompt and delivered correctly. TekSystems in Pittsburgh is worth working for if you are new or just need a job right now.

Cons

Zero benefis. Kept having to fill out direct deposit forms for every new contract. (minor annoyance)

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.
