Pros

Potential (keyword) to earn very good commissions and bonuses. Good place to learn recruiting and sales basics. They have a sales/recruiting formula that many staffing agencies copy (for better or for worse).

Cons

TEK is a business, don't fall into the trap of believing it is a "family" no matter what they say. Also, educate yourself on TEK's non-compete policy. While not enforcable in many states, TEK is known to use its lawyers to intimidate former employees and the companies that hire them. The non-compete also restricts the communication you can have with the friends you made while with TEK. The non-compete also forces you to give up any of the social networking contacts you make while working for TEK. As someone who lasted 9+ years, I can tell you that burn-out is common. From a recruiter standpoint, TEK is the Enterprise Rent-A-Car of staffing companies. They will work you until you quit, and then find some other kid right out of school to replace you.

Pros

In a bad economy they are a good option because of their many client relationships. Also, they are supportive of educational growth.

Cons

They vary compensation packages among employees almost arbitrarily, seemingly to save money where ever they can. Some employees have vacation, some don't. Some have paid holidays, some don't. They don't take an active role in transferring contracts to full-time employment.

Pros

Teksystems is wonderful at teaching the basics of recruiting, great internal tools, large investment in training, they really seem to want there employees to succeed.

Cons

Your work expereince at Teksystems is defined by who your Branch Manager is. Some are great others are pretty terrible when it comes to managing people / employees. Its really luck of the draw on who you get - sometimes the best Salesperson does not make the best manager. After a few years of being a top producer and learning the industry you will find that not all staffing companies work you to the ground. There are many other staffing companies who do as much or more business who have a better work life balance. Once you know your stuff it is not neccesary to hang around the office all night putting in "face time".
