Pros

Uncapped commission, the harder you work the more you get paid. Promote from within and a lot of room for promotions in a short period of time. Young/fun environment, A lot of outside social events. You get to expense meals with clients and consultants. Meet a lot of great people in the industry, internal and external and all become very close. You share you personal and professional goals with the company so they understand your background and what drives you, pushed from within a lot.

Cons

Time management is difficult, roller coaster feeling for recruitment in general, a lot of highs and lows. People are tough to control in general. Numbers company, so everyone knows when you are doing poorly.

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.
