Pros

The only positive about this place is the training, which is probably the best in the industry.

Cons

I have been a recruiter for about 3 months and this is the absolute worst company I have ever worked for! Just over the short amount of time that I have been here I have seen a parade of people get bullied and pushed out because they didn’t fit in with the unprofessional, “cult-like” culture. They like to hire right out of college so they can mold them into the compliant employees they want and pay them little to nothing. They bait people in by telling them what an awesome and supportive work environment it is and how much money they can make when in reality it’s a terrible work environment and they only pay $12.25/hr until you hit $3k in spread (around 9 months) then make you hit $8k in spread before giving you any commission. Forget about having a life outside of work, they expect you to work 24/7, most people come in around 7:30am and leave around 7:00pm and if you come in at the standard time (8:00am- 5:00pm) you better believe you’re getting the stink eye. The turnover is outrageously high (30% attrition rate) with most people leaving around the 6 month mark and I could count on one hand how many people that have been there for over 3 years. There is also a hierarchy with the Account Managers and Recruiters with Account Managers refusing to work with the “new recruiters” and only submitting candidates from recruiters that they like. You can only be promoted into the Account Manager role after you hit a certain amount of spread and contest. This company has fooled people into believing an Account Manager position is actually a promotion when in every other recruiting firm it’s just another career path that you can take, plus it’s more responsibility for the same amount of pay. They set it up that way so when someone questions them about the high turnover they can say “well look at all the people we have promoted”. The people that are unethical and unprofessional are the ones that get promoted here and whenever someone report the behavior they just say “sorry there is no way to prove that”.

Pros

Good opportunity to learn on the job. Able to meet with people in the industry both with TEKsystems and Microsoft. Good hands on experience with an AI data center

Cons

Sever lack of work 80% of days. Contract position got let go 3 months ahead of earliest anticipated date. Low overall responsibility within role (most contractors could only work basic tickets. Anything requiring more troubleshooting was reserved for full time employees). TEKsystems management was far removed from what was actually happening day to day onsite. Was led to believe that there would plenty of contract to hire positions when there were only a handful and were already taken.
