Pros

There are fun happy hours, and if you are young, a lot of drinking in the culture which is paid for by the company which can be fun. I made friends there that I am still close with. However when it comes to anything positive about the actual job - there isn't anything.

Cons

Toxic culture of micro management. Managers make you feel guilty if you have to take any time off, even for doctor's appointments. Sink or swim mentality. Really hard to actually get to / stay at a point where you are making good commission. Cult like mentality - hire a lot of people right out of school, who don't realize that there are so many better companies / jobs out there. They make you believe it is the best / they actually care about you.

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.
