Pros

If you get the right manager, you will have a decent experience at this place. Fun company outings. Competitive pay. You can make some forever friendships here because there are some truly caring people.

Cons

There is a good reason for the ungodly turnover rate! If you think that corporate America or the managers care the least bit about you, you are terribly mistaken. It is all about money and politics here. Senior management (or "leadership") is NO help when it comes to personal or professional issues. If you aren't in the "in" crowd, you are a nobody. The petty drama is like a flashback to high school. The group of mean girls have more power than they should - they will gossip about you, spread rumors, start needless drama... and NOTHING is done about it. It is such a toxic environment. The politics and secrets are so shady that it is pathetic. No HR intervention because HR is in the corporate office and they have too much to deal with already.

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.
