Pros

the core vaules and the people I work with. The reason I wanted to work for this company is because the moto is to "strive for execence by serving others". This really connected with me. I love the fact that I get paid to help put people to work. We also have a strong culture of people who care about eachother and help push eachother to reach thier personal and professional goals. TEK is a privately held company that does not have to answer to investors which means decisions are made for the overall good of the organization, not just to get a stock price to go up.

Cons

A lot of people don't realize how hard the staffing industry is. We are a focused, goal oriented organization which means you have to put the time in to meet the client deadlines. If this means getting in the office at 7:30 AM and staying until 8 PM, you do it. When you are young and single, this is no big deal and can be a lot of fun to work late with your comrades. . It can be very difficult when you have outside commitments and limitations on the time you can put in. It is very difficult to create a good work life balance.

Pros

As a young professional still in college and seeking professional entry-level work, I couldn't have asked for a better company than TEKSystems. Recommended to me through a friend of a friend, I was treated as an equal, even without much prior work experience (although I do have a nice academic record.) I am only part time, but the pay is better than I'd expected, I'm praised for quality work, am constantly asked about when I'll graduate so that I can receive better jobs, etc. It's very nice to walk into a business, admittedly frightened at the prospect of working in a professional atmosphere for the first time, and being treated very, very well.

Cons

As I am still in school, projects can sometimes be hard to come by. The reason for this is that projects usually consist of standard 8-hour work days; the "part-time" description is only that the projects may only be a few days/weeks long. Because of this, it can sometimes be difficult to work around my class schedule, although they do try to find me work whenever I tell them I can, even if it is short notice. Additionally, the benefits package is only active during your work contract. This is expected, but I might as well post it so that it's not a surprise to anyone not expecting it.

Pros

It's a great place to start your career and learn the ropes of the professional world. They have a knack for hiring fun internal employees and encouraging a fun atmosphere. I really enjoyed my co-workers and made some great friendships while I was there. TEKsystems is a leader in the staffing industry.

Cons

They provide poor health benefits that are very costly. Have you ever seen the movie "Office Space"??? heavy on corporate processes and red tape. They provide a base salary that is lower than most in the industry. It's not a place you can be successful working a 40 hour work week.
