Pros

Great opportunity fresh out of college, friendly co-workers that make lasting friends, free coffee and sometimes food, flexible work hours, still have one work from home day although recent new hires were told they’d be guaranteed two

Cons

Management will promise you amazing opportunities for professional growth and upward promotions, but these are only awarded to those who play management’s pet. Management can provide negative reviews, scores, and even gossip if they do not like you or if you are labeled as an issue for speaking your mind, which also prevents movement. Will overwork you while underpaying you. Doesn’t take COL adjustments seriously, but will brag about how much money is being sunken into software. OVT not required, but will be held against you if you do not stay. Awful benefits for those who need decent medical coverage. Recent new hires were informed they’d be given two work from home days, which influenced their decision to take the job in some cases, only the have one suddenly taken away due to being, “Better Together”, when it reality it sounds like they only want more control. Overall an easy place to feel trapped.

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.
