Pros

Fun and young culture with high potential to make a bunch of money if you are willing to put in the time and effort. Work with a tight knit team who feels like family. Free lunches and other fun perks to make work more entertaining and motivating.

Cons

TEK has a high turnover rate because they burn people out. We lose people probably every other week because TEK expects too much from their employees with not enough return on the investment. You are expected to work at a minimum of 50 hours a week on a salary base of $50K per year- which is not enough for what is expected. Young culture creates a lot of internal drama that is unnecessary in a professional work environment. People don't know how to act like adults. Benefits are terrible when so many other companies have perks that show they actually care about their employees. If you are a woman and have any desire to have children or start a family, you will have a hard time advancing in the company- there is no balance. So if you want to live a lonely life and care more about TEK than having a family, you will love it at TEK. If you actually want to have a family AND still see them and spend time with them, you won't have a place at TEK to do so. If you do want to advance, you have to be willing to travel around the country and do whatever the company asks of you. Otherwise, you won't have much advancement other than local office sales and account management.

Pros

- Decent pay to start. - Account manager is responsive, engaging, and a serious advocate for you and your contract. - Gain access to Udemy Business to build more skills.

Cons

- The benefits suck. - High recruiter turnover with highly variable experience trying to work with them-- some are good, most are not. - Once you are placed, you will be promised regular meetings and then never hear from the recruiter again. - Trying to find a new contract if you are unhappy with your current placement is nearly impossible and I don't believe they are incentivized to help you move at all. - You have to manually request a raise and depending on how you negotiated your contract, you may or may not have the ability to receive one. - There is a cap to how much they will pay you for the contract so even if you work that position 4 years, once you hit that cap you are stuck. I originally submitted my resume with TekSystems when I had finished my degree and never heard back. Many years later, I was approached on LinkedIn by a TekSystems recruiter for a position and he had no idea I was in the system previously. Working with him was good, and I did get the position. Then I never heard from him again and I've had 4 or 5 different recruiters whose names I could not tell you if I tried since then. There's supposed to be monthly calls, they never happen.
