Pros

They offer pre-job training where most other companies do not offer. Helps you maintain your job and happier customer for them.

Cons

They reduce significant amount of money from your pay if any training is needed (almost all go through training) no way to get that money back later. Small annual raises (only if client is still hiring more people, if stagnant on additional hires TEKsystems refuses to give increase). Your annual raise has no impact if you as an individual did well. No help with further formal educational. Education does not matter to them so don't waste your time thinking it matters to them. I received Master's last month and they told me that no pay raise will happen and no renegotiation will happen. They tell you that you meet over lunch with your recruiter 1x a month (at a minimum) because they care about you, your experience with them, and growing you as an individual. I have been with the company for over 2 years and I have only had 3 meetings. 2 of them which I requested. Their annual bonuses/awards are biased and given to their drinking buddies. Someone else will always take credit for your inventions and work if possible.

Pros

Great place to learn the IT staffing business. They provide solid training and structure for someone coming out of college. Put in long hours & learn the processes, you'll make a decent living but probably not as much as you'd think.

Cons

While it's a great place to learn the industry you should leave after a couple of years to make more money. Once you've learned the business you'll be able to bring in a lot more working at a smaller company that will offer more to their producers. After 2 very successful years with TEK I left and 2 years later make literally double what I did then. Corporate policies favor employees with long tenure (10+ years with the company) and continue to change to favor those employees, offering less to those newer to the company. Up to you if you want to sign up for the long haul but I'd still say you'll see a lot more financial reward and career growth at a less established firm. I don't hold it against them. I'd do the same if I were in their shoes, which is why I'm building up a smaller firm where I'm the one to set the foundation.

Cons
