Vantaggi

The people you work with are what make this job bearable. Other than that you get an opportunity to learn about technology, other companies, and get in front of executive level people

Svantaggi

LONG HOURS! I cannot stress that enough. If you want a 9-5 job, this is not the place for you. You also have to compete with favoritism in this organization. One person can do whatever they want with no consequences, while if anyone else does it they will be put on a performance plan. It's all about getting commission in the recruiter role, but in reality everyone struggles to get in the commission tiers for the first 2 years (sometimes longer!). Once you reach commission, the percentage that you take home is so minimal, you wonder if it was all really worth it to get to that point. Every year the management team makes changes that are wildly unfavorable, but follow with "adoption is not an option." Oh and if you would like to get promoted there are only two routes to go, Account Manager or Recruiter Lead.

Teksystems have top rated clients in their radar and the recruiters are always ready to listen and try to give solution if there are any roadblocks as they render a comfortable platform to discuss anything regarding the contract.

Vantaggi

- 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.

Svantaggi

- 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.
