TEKsystems reviews

Low Pay Lousy benefits (expensive healthcare plan with Very high deductibles), no holidays, paid sick days or vacation time. They make it difficult to get a job directly with client, even if the client wants to hire you, they rather you work for them at a low rate with no benefits forever then for you to get something better for yourself.

This company will underpay you in hopes you buy into their culture. They want to create a work environment that people will love so they will accept a substantially less salary than in other companies. If you are someone who doesn't care about what you make and being expected to work over time for pay that still qualifies you for section 8 housing (not making this up google section 8 qualifications for Anne Arundel County) then this is the job for you. Don't be fooled by "Fortunes best places to work" because it is not referring to corporate. As soon as I was hired and spoke with my coworkers regarding it being Fortune's best place to work they made sure to let me know that award was only referring to the field offices. This is a corporate job with all the corporate politics that comes along with it. The turnover at this company is unreal. If you really need experience and can't get hired anywhere else use this company as a stepping stone but keep in mind they don't really care about you. "TEK cares about their employees on a personal level and not just professional" is fake. Don't believe their lies and just go into it knowing what to expect. TEK stresses building relationships as part of their core values, what you should know is that this means you have to be friends with the people you work with in order to make your boss happy. Meaning you need to have coworkers on your team that you regularly hang out with outside of work. Oh and expect to go out to a lot of lunches and constantly try to impress people. The amount of work, responsibility and stress you have to deal with are unbelievable when you take into account the pay rate. Maybe this would be acceptable if you were a higher level manager but for an entry level position it just doesn't add up.
