Pros

Relaxed, upbeat, great benefits for entry level position, training provided. Most of my daily work was completed within the first few hours each day, after my work was done, I was allowed to read, work on homework, listen to music, etc., as long as phones were answered and guests were greeted. Occasionally, I would be assigned additional work, usually able to complete it within an hour. Never had to work overtime. Great for students attending night classes. Favorite place I've ever worked as an Admin.

Cons

If you don't have something to do it can get very boring if you're in a smaller office. Your supervisor can give you more work if desired, however, mine wouldn't out of being worried I could take her job, she admitted that to me- but we still got along very well.

Pros

TEK always comes in clutch when you need something right away. Never had a bad Engagement Manager either

Cons

Not sufficient benefits for contracts, sometimes contracts are wishy-washy on 'End Date'

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.
