Pros

It's a good place to gain experience out of college. They do a good job teaching you the fundamentals of sales/recruiting.

Cons

High overhead costs/burden. Poor work life balance. Lower than average base salary per the industry. Opportunities for significant earning potential can be limited to what accounts you get assigned to.

Pros

The recruiter I worked with was actually really great and got me placed super fast. The benefits for contractors are decent compared to other staffing agencies I've seen. Honestly, getting a big enterprise client on my resume was exactly what I needed to step up my career, so I'm grateful for that.

Cons

Once you're actually working at the client site, it feels like TEKsystems kind of forgets about you. Communication drops off hard after the first few weeks. Also, their cut of the pay rate is pretty noticeable, but I guess that's just the industry standard for contract roles.
