Pros

Quarterly bonuses, profit sharing, HSA and 401k contribution...plenty of free money and great pay.

Cons

To get promoted or have any opportunity for advancement in the Jacksonville, FL hub, you have to either know someone or severely suck up to leadership. Leadership will tell you to that once you are "exceeding expectations" in all categories on your mid and year end reviews, you will be eligible for advancement. The problem with this is that you are not graded on how you are doing, you will get "exceeding expectations" when the leadership feels they are ready to promote you, not solely based on your merits. Also, there is no consistency to tenure or anything of the sort. There are employees who have been here 6-7 months and have already made supervisor, there are others who are completely skipping the Senior Time and Expense role and going right to a supervisor, and there is just generally no consistency to how anything works here in jacksonville. The entire center leadership is garbage, and if you get offered a position here, don't count on moving up any time soon.

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.
