Pros

Most of the time they will answer the phone and sometimes they will return your call from voicemail. They have free online training video courses. They will come around about once per month and take all of their employees out to lunch. At least you get some work.

Cons

Absolutely no benefits. Offers go to their favorites first regardless of their qualifications. They will ALWAYS offer you lower than other companies recruiting for the same position. They keep secret the actual client's name until you commit with them to avoid competition whereas other companies will clearly tell you. For example, I was submitted for a position by one company and offered $25 per hour. The next day TEKsystems calls me about a job with the same description and confirmed that it was the same client. "I will try and see if I can get you $15." No thanks. I will take the exact same job with the other company at $25. Their recuiters are always getting company paid benefit trips to Cancun and such as bonuses for all of the money that they saved the company with their low-ball tactics. Their online video courses can only be accessed with an older XP machine which has not had IE or flash player upgraded.

Pros

Ample opportunity for growth and development, great team environment and very supportive. This company will give you the skills you need to go elsewhere if you decide to do so, I had a tremendous experience there.

Cons

You have to be extremely adaptable, which isn’t necessarily a con. But just something you need to understand.

Pros

Recruiters are friendly and engaged *at first

Cons

My experience with TEKsystems revealed major issues in how candidates are managed and communicated with. After completing all onboarding requirements and being told I was cleared for a role, I was even welcomed by the client as part of the team and informed that I would be starting soon. At that point, I reasonably expected a smooth transition into the position. Instead, communication from the recruiting team became inconsistent and, eventually, nonexistent. Several promised updates never arrived. I had to initiate contact repeatedly just to confirm basic information, and responses often came late, from different people, or with no context. At one point, I was told the team “wasn’t aware I was still available,” despite multiple documented interactions showing I had remained fully engaged and ready to begin. The most concerning part was being asked to re‑interview for a role I had already been cleared for — a clear sign that my status was not being tracked internally. Even after that second interview, I received no follow‑up from the recruiters who were supposed to be coordinating the process. I ultimately learned the client had moved forward with someone else, but only because I reached out directly. TEKsystems never communicated this themselves, nor did they provide any explanation for the breakdown in communication. TEKsystems works with reputable clients and offers solid opportunities, but candidates should be prepared to advocate for themselves constantly. In my experience, even being fully onboarded, welcomed by the client, and told I was part of the team did not guarantee proper follow‑through. Clear, consistent, and accountable communication is essential in staffing — and unfortunately, that was not my experience here.
