Pros

I think this is a great industry to start your career in (there are so many staffing firms in Atlanta, it really doesn't matter where you go.) I think everyone at the Entry level should work hard and pay their dues and this place certainly demands that. You have an opportunity to make a lot of money with the uncapped commission. The skills you can pick up if you work hard are going to be very valuable

Cons

If you have a few years of experience under your belt, just don't even bother. To them, you may as well be Entry level. Work / Life balance is an absolute joke. The pay for most is average at best. Base pay is laughable and commission CAN be amazing but a ton of it depends on the business you are working on Politics and micromanagement are some of the worst I have ever seen Turnover

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.
