Pros

The potential for making money is available. The average starting base is $30k but you can negotiate a higher salary with previous experience. From personal experience and other co-workers $35k-$45k is salary you could negotiate but only for 1 year then you go to a $30k base. And you don't get your commission until you exceed your negotiated base pay of X. Make sure they explain how the "Guaranteed Commission" works and factors into your commission.

Cons

Long hours you first year to build your network and then long hours after that year to maintain your commission. The health benefits are horrible.

Pros

Good opportunity to learn on the job. Able to meet with people in the industry both with TEKsystems and Microsoft. Good hands on experience with an AI data center

Cons

Sever lack of work 80% of days. Contract position got let go 3 months ahead of earliest anticipated date. Low overall responsibility within role (most contractors could only work basic tickets. Anything requiring more troubleshooting was reserved for full time employees). TEKsystems management was far removed from what was actually happening day to day onsite. Was led to believe that there would plenty of contract to hire positions when there were only a handful and were already taken.
