Pros

- good pay once you learn the job - friendly peers - brand has been around for a while and companies respect that

Cons

- favoritism in leadership. The same three “leaders” in the office only care about promoting each other. - leadership never asks for feedback when staff is clearly upset. - during covid, sales and recruiting metrics have not changed at all, they have gotten more aggressive with threats of “performance plans” to intimidate you. - rules don’t apply to you if you’re one of the leaders favorites - ex. Sales metrics don’t apply to you - this office has done away with PTO by telling staff if they use a PTO day they must hit their activity or they will be put on a performance plan. The leader in the office holds a meeting about this to make it seem like that is not the agenda, but it’s clear to everyone that it is. - employees must go to Glassdoor to say how they feel because leadership is unapproachable. - gossip amongst leadership leads to distrust. - company is treating us horribly and making us feel that we should be grateful to have a job. Exploitation.

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.
