Pros
- Very extensive (roughly 12 weeks) training touching on the background of IT, our internal CRM tool, and our business delivery cycle. - Uncapped commission potential - Fun, energetic office - Autonomy to get your job done and operate as your own business - A large database of consultants who have already been placed or are familiar with TEKsystems, and roughly 80% of the IT workforce is in this system from across the U.S. ( Unfortunately the most recent upgrade they made to this system made this product worse and harder to navigate). - Happy hours, promotion parties, and team events to bring the office together.
Cons
- The attrition rate is abysmal throughout all career paths (recruiting, Account Management, and even Director level roles). It got to the point where it didn't even make sense to try to learn everybody's name because almost half wouldn't be there within the first year. - After I started, they switched the policy that you start as an hourly employee until reaching a certain commission level then you become salaried (please invest right off the bat in the people who make the company and higher-ups all their money). -Some employees and upper management are very nosy when it comes to taking personal, accrued time-off. - Senior employees are treated differently than newer ones such as the very minimal WFH policy of one day per week they just recently implemented. These certain employees must be at a specific tenure or commission level (this causes disdain from newer employees). - They believe Facetime is more important than having the ability/ comprehension to complete the job. - They tell everybody to help new recruiters as much as possible even though certain recruiters are paid a commission when these new recruiters get a placement. Unfortunately, the most senior/ oldest recruiter in our office who has this responsibility directly told some of the new recruiters (he's making money off of) not to listen to any of my advice because he personally doesn't like me. This is sad and contradictory to TEK's core values.
