TEKsystems reviews

If you are in a non-sales role just know that sales drive the company; policy's, respect and culture are all comprised for $$$ Avoid HR and customer support positions, the culture is toxic. While its great to see female leaders its also horrifying to feel the peer pressure to fit a mold. If you don't fit in with the leadership clique they will openly try and push you out. Pay for non-sales roles is not competitive. Get experience and get out. I stayed too long on empty promises but I am fortunate to have gained leadership experience to move onto something better. Sales is groomed to treat others as if they are beneath them, you would think this is a thing of the past and its actually pretty disturbing. Sales leadership has also been known to treat recruiters poorly to try and break them. They bully you and belittle you, if you cry you are seen as weak. I've seen both male and females be broken down and crying due to the way they have been treated by leadership.

HR nightmare. Constant sexual harassment which is par for the course with rampant office hookups. Racism and sexism are also rampant. My boss complained about heritage & pride months and said "why isn't there a day for straight white men?" I was told by multiple AM's in our office morning meetings that I needed to "hire a 'bro' for this role and to make sure he fit in...a 'Joe' or a 'Bob' if you catch my drift" (verbatim) The company preys on young people who do not know any better about 1) never being able to leave or go on vacation. 2) favoritism in the form of lucrative accounts while the less favored workers have to work 100x harder for significantly less money. You can literally walk into a great account and do nothing and make $$$$ while those who break their backs and make progress slower have to be paired up with a 'successful' account manager. Seen this happen literally every day even though it's common knowledge that the person with the better account could literally never sell cold territory. So, demeaning to say the least. 3) thinking its okay to publicly make fun of women who leave at 5 to pick up their kids OR make fun of adults who do not have kids for wanting to enjoy life and leave by 5:30 and 4) make you tell the entire office your past trauma as a way to guilt you into not leaving. ("But your parents are poor so you need to stay here and make money right?") I was literally told to ask if kids had student loans on the half day interviews. They also make you go out for events after your 14 hour day, because "work hard play hard" aka stay trapped in a pit while they throw a beer at you. You're told that this is the only place to make impact, money, and a life for you/your kids (it's not). You're also told that you have to only love making money, not what you do for a living. All companies know that if your #1 motive is to make money, your business will not be run with good or smart intentions and will eventually fail (as what's happening). There are absolutely NO learning events, just a sales meeting every year where they pick a few random people to go to drink the kool-aid about tek, your trauma, and essentially nothing else. Also, when you do leave you're pushed out and not allowed to tell people so your boss can come up with a fake story about why you left and how you'll never find a good company again. There is no growth at TEK. Any job you do within the company is just more staffing work. TEK is slowly going downhill which makes for constant pressure and less money for those who are doing the work. In recruiter training, a senior leader said to us "work life balance is a myth" You have to pressure people into jobs. If a candidate says that a job isn't great for their career growth...and you know it isn't as well, your manager will literally, physically throw a fit in front of everyone because you didn't "sell it enough"
