Pros

There are good people to work with at TEK, but it can be a stressful environment. If you want to throw yourself into a career, there is an opportunity to make money with TEK, but it's not easy starting out. Good training program for any recruiter.

Cons

Low base salary, and long hours. Hours are not mandatory, but are required to be anywhere close to successful. I found the managment to be very singularly focused, and manipulative.

Pros

In some situations, trying on another company before you commit is nice. Using Tek for that purpose works.

Cons

The recruiters are devastatingly young and inexperienced. The several I have worked with were straight out of undergrad. SO many empty promises. Everything from, "Hey if you do us a favor and help out a new colleague on site, we'll give you a gift card." To "I'll schedule us to have lunch." And then you never ever hear back. I have been promised interview prep materials that have not come. I've had some recruiters fall off the face of the planet. There is a lack of understanding of the technical world and culture by these very green recruiters. I was FAR underpaid and I don't think Tek's INTENTION was to screw me, I just really don't think they had a good enough understanding of the client I worked for. (FYI I got hired on by my client and received a 40% pay increase, if that tells you anything.) Benefits are horrid. I've been promised

Pros

-Can make decent cash -Prepares you for a real job out of college.

Cons

The will micromanage you to death. Think big brother times 10. If you are not on the phone all day every day with someone that has "IT" on there resume you will be looked down on. Based on who your AM is you can be working for nothing. If you get stuck with a AM that does not have any decent accounts all of you work will be for nothing.
