Pros

TEKsystems is more than just a job to pay the bills. It is a place to build a career. There is a direct correlation between the effort and commitment you put in, to what you will get in return. The training program is very strong and can help prepare anyone who is eager to learn to be a successful recruiter. Long term the compensation and career growth is phenominal but you definitely need to make it through the same challenge of starting building a network and learning the industry, as you would with any long term, relationship building sales position.

Cons

The staffing industry can be very challenging. You are not going to be able to help everyone, which can be very frustrating. With those who you are able to help, not all will be appreciative. This is a client-driven organization, which means that you will not be working 9am-5pm. You will need to be capable of responding to your clients or consultants when they need you, not when it is convenient for you.

Pros

Bonuses and profit sharing would make it a desirable job if you are placed in the position to succeed. You ultimately have no choice on the situation you are placed into. Most of the other same level associates are down to earth people.

Cons

Promotes false sense of employees buying into their "corporate culture". Upper management praises how beloved the company was by the employees - however, most of the lowel level grunts hated the job when I worked there in 2006. I was told that I was on the fast track to management, the carrot was dangled over my head several times until eventually being pulled out completely and they found a way to weed me out. Handed in my immediate resignation, they talked me into staying to pull more knowledge out of me and let me go. If you are smart, run the opposite way of this downtrodden beast.

Pros

The front line management are great. Very available, and receptive. The salary would be good if they paid for holidays, any time off or benefits. Project is great.

Cons

Teksystems initial salary offer does not include ANY days off, or benefits. They don't tell you this when they make an offer. I found out after the fact when I was signing the contract - after I had turned down other companies. No holidays, sick leave, vacation or benefits - all are paid for by employee separately. The benefits they offer are very expensive, and the bottom rung. All of us here can't wait for Teksystems to lose the contract - but according to the confidentiality agreement, we can't work for ANY company at this agency for 6 months after we leave Teksystems - even if they lay off.
