Pros

You get to eat for free.

Cons

They try to do plenty of happy hours to make up for the horrible pay and benefits.The company is based on the employee who is liked the most. With that being said if your not with an account manager who cares about your success. You will never promote. High attrition within the company. Unsteady pay meaning you can be six figures after 3 years and in one day you can drop back to the initial pay 30k. Micromanage is an understatement. Office full of gossip. You dont promote unless someone go and tells the DBO how great you are. Meaning you can have a better track record and someone whose numbers isnt half as good as you will promote because of them speaking up

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.
