Pros

They actually have a pretty decent training program, which can be used for any future companies you may join, regardless of industry.

Cons

ZERO work life balance. They tell you that is important to them, but it is a lie. If you leave at 5 or 5:30 to lets say go to the gym, or go to your kid's game, etc. they say its fine, but their tone of voice in the response says otherwise. Also, you can work until 10pm one night, but if you get in at 7:31 the next morning, be prepared to be sat down and spoken to about being on time. The belief at TEK is, "if you don't have a family or kids there's no reason why you can't stay late at least 3 days a week." So they tell you all the money you can make there, but you can never spend it because you're always there! I was also expected to work on my vacations and weekends, of course. If you're not a favored employee, you'll actually get looked down upon for USING your vacation days. I was also told by leadership that if you were struggling (which you'll ALWAYS struggle at some point in any sales role) that I shouldn't be worried about going to the doctor, but worried about my commission. Not really a great way of life. FAVORITISM...and not a lot of standards. One day they roll out this rule and initiative, the next week that all changes. Even if you are high performing, if the boss doesn't believe in you then you're basically on your own. Half of the things people do/say at TEK, INCLUDING the directors, would never fly at other companies. Too many people making high commission and doing absolutely nothing all day are getting praised, and when others are working hard to build up their territory/spread, if it is not fast enough they are being let go.

Pros

good contract customer was expectin at least a year plus of working with a a company called microsoft. made good friends at the last job i did with them.

Cons

contract barely lasted 5 months for me, less for others. I felt used as a tax write off, They laid us off without notice. We had suspected it would happen again after the first time 300 people got let go. When it happened the first time we were surprised now the second time I got to be angry. They lack communication and knowing how to handle an overpopulated work place and proper protocol about laying people off. for some people who relocated and they have still not recieved pay and since their contract is over they may not even recieve it.
