Pros

Prompt Weekly pay checks, Direct Deposit

Cons

Low salary, no vacation/holiday/sick days, Crappy benefits, you would think a company that has thousands of "employees" would be able to offer benefits at a good price, they wanted $600 a month to cover me and my Wife, 60% coverage with a 25k max out of pocket. I can get better benefits on the open market for less. The only reason they are a "highly rated company" by there employees is because they get survey results from there 500 or so in house staff employees, survey the thousands of contractors that have the misfortune work for them, the results would be far different. There recruiters low ball you on salary, you really have to be in demand for them to budge on salaries.

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.
