Pros

You will have a greater appreciation for every company after you quit. I've heard many of the positive reviews are fake so beware and ask people who currently work there and those who have quit their opinion before accepting an offer.

Cons

Time put in is not always equivalent to what you earn. You could work 13 plus hours and someone else could work 8 and the outcome could be the same or they could end up making more money than you. You need to be a member of the Director's clique to get good business and get promoted. This means drinking after work, even if you don't want to and brown nosing your way to the top. The culture is all the same, some locations are worse than others in regards to HR violations (extreme). Overall the entire company will make you miserable. The honeymoon stage ends fast and you will be looking for a new job within 3 months. Don't fall for the fake vibes, run away and decline your offer. Don't do it to yourself.

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.
