Pros

This is a good job to get out of college if you already have some sales or customer service background. The training works if you practice and utilize it everyday. The lunches are paid for if you meet with technical professionals. When you hit your salary benchmark, you automatically make 50k. I have some colleagues making 6 figures who have been here about 2 years. The culture is young and there are a lot of open bar happy hours.

Cons

I work 60 hours per week and there are not many female leadership. The oldest women in leadership is almost 30 (no kids) in our department while the oldest for men is close to retirement. As a woman, you will feel that there is an expiration date on you. Also, there is no solid program for working mothers or new mothers and there are huge discrepancies between offices nationwide. You usually hear rumors of programs that other offices are trying and you might have to reach out to other offices about their program out of state. Also, you should hope that you don't get to recruit end user services because you have to hit a more higher benchmark to get your salary. In our office, it is predicted that end user services hit salary twice as long or even longer than other recruiting fields. I hit my salary in just 5 months but I wasn't in end user services. If you don't hit your salary benchmark, you'll be making $14/hour non negotiable. Imagine having to pay for college loans, housing, car, and food from a wage of $14 per hour. If you find a candidate who is not a citizen or green card, you don't get the full points filling the position. If the visa holder comes from an approved list, you will get 75% and if they are not on the list, you will be punished and get 50%. Moreover, the tuition reimbursement is terrible. You will only be supported if you get a degree in business and none other. You will also have to drive to meet technical professionals for lunch, breakfast, or dinner and that's a lot of added mileage on your car. Overall, I work from 7:15am until almost 6pm with travelling lunches every day. There is a lot of drinking as part of the culture and you'll feel ostracized if you don't drink. Also, you have to dance when you get your first start in front of everyone.

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.
