Pros

Some corporate perks- PTO and health insurance- but that's very minimal. PTO is accrued they don't encourage employees to take it (you'll most likely be expected to be tied to your phone and email while on pto). The health insurance is very bare minimum. You’re also paid on the number of placements/contractors you put to work. The pay is very inconsistent- i.e. you’re paid for every hour your contractors work/log their hours. There is the opportunity to make a lot of money and that’s the motto that they sell to their employees to get people to stay. But the reality is that it’s not realistic or attainable for everyone. Only a very small percentage of recruiters actually make money regardless of how much effort is put in.

Cons

I can truly say out of all the places I've worked in my adult life this is by far the absolute worst. The TEK Charlotte office is one of the toxic/cringy company cultures I've ever experienced. It screams hustle culture- awful management and extremely unprofessional. Very high turnover, lots of office gossip, and no work life balance.

Pros

Some directors are great with supporting those who are struggling. They’ll do review sessions to help pinpoint what you’re doing well and what’s not going so well. It helps to get that feedback and without it some may feel super lost with nothing to grasp on to for life support.

Cons

The culture sucks! Some directors or leaders act like it’s a frat. They form cliques and pretend they care about everyone but they don’t. They will share information with some people in the team/in the office, and once word spreads they make passive comments about how they have to share it with everybody and be better at communication or they’re gonna get crucified by everyone. They just changed to a 5 day in office standard to drive performance yet there is not much to work on in the slow market. At the beginning of the year they preached that we would be okay through this recession and no one would be affected yet they started being super stingy on expenses and just rolled out their first wave of layoffs. If you want to feel safe and secure in your job this is not the one!

Pros

The people are cool mostly.

Cons

There is way too much of an ask from the employee in the BOA position compared to the compensation and accommodations provided. I have been here for a few months now. I have way too many meetings that eat into my workload. The workload is ridiculously disproportionate compared to the pay. You are expected to audit reports, submit them on time, follow up with client requests and requests from account managers, and maintenance anything wrong with your books of business for less than $50K (before taxes). OT is capped at 5 hours a week so you spend your days skipping breaks and moving around meetings to get your work done. That is frowned upon. They start you off with 40 hours PTO but it’s not given up front. You have to earn it. For anyone with a family and young children, find something better. Account managers are condescending and they make way more money than the back office teams even though we do a lot of the follow up and work for the accounts. Management allows it. Everyone around me is miserable and complains about pay. If and only if you somehow manage to earn your quarterly bonus, it is only a max of $1K and the best billers have only earned a fraction of that for a quarter. I really hate working here and I think about hurting myself often when I’m here
