Vantaggi
In my area, TEKsystems offered the best hourly rate for the state contract position I was applying for. Strangely, the fact that I can turn down any benefits such as health, dental and vacation is a plus when working with TEKsystems (more below).
Svantaggi
TEKsystems offers benefits and vacation, purely as a formality to get people in the door. Some call them a joke, but I consider them an insult. They do not offer a full coverage health plan, and instead have several levels of sub-par "limited" plans, with the best plan costing $275 a week to cover a whole family. That's right, $275 a week for limited coverage! I find it humorous that TEKsystems has been able to use the same Obamacare insurance loophole that McDonalds uses to keep offering sub-par coverage, but at least McDonald's reasoning is that their employees could not afford quality insurance! Vacation is another joke, as the drop in your pay rate will cost you *MORE* a year than if you just didn't work the hours you are taking off! Having consulted with them for 3 years now, the first thing I tell people when asking about this field is to first shop around with other vendors and if TEKsystems is by far the best option, look into private insurance options.
