Pros

Potential (keyword) to earn very good commissions and bonuses. Good place to learn recruiting and sales basics. They have a sales/recruiting formula that many staffing agencies copy (for better or for worse).

Cons

TEK is a business, don't fall into the trap of believing it is a "family" no matter what they say. Also, educate yourself on TEK's non-compete policy. While not enforcable in many states, TEK is known to use its lawyers to intimidate former employees and the companies that hire them. The non-compete also restricts the communication you can have with the friends you made while with TEK. The non-compete also forces you to give up any of the social networking contacts you make while working for TEK. As someone who lasted 9+ years, I can tell you that burn-out is common. From a recruiter standpoint, TEK is the Enterprise Rent-A-Car of staffing companies. They will work you until you quit, and then find some other kid right out of school to replace you.

Pros

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.

Cons

pay range quoted is OK (medium ballpark) but unable to negotiate

Pros

The recruiter I worked with was actually really great and got me placed super fast. The benefits for contractors are decent compared to other staffing agencies I've seen. Honestly, getting a big enterprise client on my resume was exactly what I needed to step up my career, so I'm grateful for that.

Cons

Once you're actually working at the client site, it feels like TEKsystems kind of forgets about you. Communication drops off hard after the first few weeks. Also, their cut of the pay rate is pretty noticeable, but I guess that's just the industry standard for contract roles.
