Pros

Met some great people. You can become a manager very quickly if you buy into their awful culture and "play the game" the way they like.

Cons

Worst and most toxic environment in which I've ever worked. TEK is ranked in the top 100 companies to work for every year, but it's only because of the sales offices. The entire company stands on the shoulders of overworked and underpaid 20-something college grads working in AR who don't earn the huge commissions or get trips to Cancun every year like the recruiters and account managers. The company psychologically and emotionally manipulates young people in their first real jobs, who don't understand they deserve better. A senior level executive even told my team that they employ a psychologist to develop their "culture". They claim their "culture" of emotional honesty and criticism is a strength, but it's just another twisted justification for the mistreatment of employees. Almost everyone who realizes the issues and leaves this company is hired immediately at a much better company and makes $10k+ more per year.

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.
