TEKsystems reviews

- extreme variables on how successful you will be depending on what account manager, skill set and industry you are aligned to support. you will likely not find out their plan/ what team you will be on for around a month after you start. - expect to work from 7:30am - 5:30pm - only 1-2 tenured recruiters in office and 1-2 tenured sales people - can feel like the blind leading the blind - must fire people and give consultants harsh feedback, walk them off-site in certain instances -pay recruiters 50k base after you hit salary. for most this takes anywhere from 4-8 months. while you are in this training period you make 12.25/hr. when you hit salary you make 50k and you commission is in tiers but you dont start making any commission until you "hit 8k" and the commission at that point will be somewhere around $10/a week. what I am saying is that the commission structure is not great for recruiters. - corporate made it harder to hit contest every year I was there - culture that does not respect pto and sick days, pto is frowned upon and request for pto is frequently denied. In my opinion, get in - get your experience - and if you get promoted into sales evaluate the territory they give you and negotiate for a better one if needed. If you are not in a fruitful spot - you will know it and my advice is to get out. They give the best accounts to the certain people and those people rise to the top. If you are one, great. If not, go recruit at any corporate tech company and go get yourself some work-life balance and double your salary.

Associates are expected to not only handle their accounts but start jumping into other accounts while management keeps moving the goal posts for bonuses and work expectations/duties without increasing salaries. The open concept office space for Associates mean that you will be listening to people's conversations, loud music and even singing. They allow people to blare music on speakers (provided last holiday season by the company) yet having two earbuds in to concentrate is considered "non-welcoming" despite having no walls to block sight and no doors to close. The place has been described as being like a frat house, and they cannot keep Associates. The turnover is incredibly bad despite multiple referral contests - they just can't keep people but management does little to address the problems and just hands off the additional workloads to the existing staff. The field offices are being downsized which has resulted in additional responsibilities being put on Associates with little accountability outside of Corporate.
