Pros

The people that work for the company are nice. Make that associates and lower management. The facilities are nice and clean

Cons

Where do I begin. Unrealistic advancement opportunities. They state they will work with you to move up and they don't. The benefits are laughable. Upper Management give the same speech over and over about dreams and advancement. When you interview they pride themselves with work-life balance. Unfortunately you lose your life after working there. When i get home from work I basically go to sleep and wake up to work everyday. My children often wonder where I am. No vacation. Your workload is usually that of five people. Everyday you leave feeling stressed without any sense of accomplishment. Most associates begin right after college and the company can have an immature vibe at time. Even with a high workload-you have 20 useless meetings a week. I have never seen such a mess in my entire life.

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.
