Pros

got one month of experience in accounting and ended up getting a WFH job doing the same thing with better pay and a work to life balance.

Cons

The expectations were unreasonable from the start—they handed me extremely escalated accounts and expected immediate resolutions. Despite this, I managed to resolve two accounts and rebill over $80K in past-due amounts. Less than a week later, I was fired, with them claiming I had ‘performance issues,’ which they spread to my colleagues. The senior manager gave me verbal approval to leave early due to health issues, only to lie the next day, claiming I never had permission. And to top it off, after I was let go, the manager told people not to contact me outside of work. How would I even know that if they were actually following that directive? It’s all incredibly shady and unprofessional. Good luck to all the new people that have my old accounts.

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.
