TEKsystems reviews

not very competative compensation (base), sr management is not so in touch with the actual employee, and can feel like just another number.

- the work/life balance is probably the single biggest issue anyone has with TEK - 50 hours a week is considered slacking here - the base pay is roughly half of what the industry standards are - if you make $150k / year, 70% of that is commissions/bonus, it makes it very difficult to survive during the inevitable down times. It also makes it difficult to want to accept new roles within the company, a promotion or change is inevitably followed be a short to medium term decline in income. - Much of the senior management seems at times to be in over their heads - they mostly came from within the organization (any of them have only worked for TEK) and have limited experiences to draw upon. It's defended by a strong belief in the culture of TEK, but anyone with critical thinking skills can see that this is an antiquated and flawed argument - there is a strong tendency to micro-manage and local leadership is not allowed much latitude to adjust for specific conditions within their market or to adjust to the team dynamics specific to their market or practice.
