Cook-Systems

I feel very fortunate to work at Cook Systems. This company values employees, family, and having a life outside of work. My manager is the best boss I have ever had. People here are motivated to grow, be successful, and push into unknown territories. There are lots of employees who have been with the company for decades, and there is good reason for this. 

Cook is experiencing rapid organic growth due to their FastTrack program, and it is resulting in positive change, updates, and new ways of doing things to make the company even better. I really enjoy my job and the people here at Cook.

Your typical work day is pretty par for the course. Sometimes the work environment is crazy but I have a feeling that is the way this industry works. I learn how the programming cycle works and how agile works and functions. Management are okay they seem to care how you are doing and want you working on something. Co-workers are also par for the course. The hardest part of this job is the below average pay. If you aren't going into this for the experience then you might feel underwhelmed. The most enjoyable part is the flexibility.

The programming bootcamp is promoted heavily via email but the company is concerned with promoting diversity, i.e. people from their own city. They're not concerned with the type of person who went to college. The training is more of an "I told you so" and focuses more on speed of processing so you feel guilty. They fire you if your manager or someone at the job site complains about you, so they are like most staffing agencies. Also, they subcontracted me to another staffing agency, so that one also had a say in firing me, which made it more likely.

Company has the feel of family.  Owner genuinely cares about employees.  Keeps contractors on paid bench between assignments. No other company does that.  I saw the review below.  Who ever that is must have an axe to grind.  No such exodus has ever occurred since I've been here.  I can't even think of any project manager who has left in that time frame.  We did fire one person around then but they were not a PM.  Sounds like fictitious story by disgruntled person on anonymous forum.  I sure like it here.

Everyone at Cook Systems are very friendly and get along great
it is a hard working company and is growing.

I managed 1 to 2 employees and oversaw the payroll Department.

HR and Payroll were the greatest , I enjoy talking to the employee's and helping them with any issues that may come up.

My Manager was the Best person, very hands on and would work with you on anything, she is very hard working. 

Cook Systems was one big Family.

I had a perfect experience with Cook Systems, My representative was kind, caring and very knowledgeable and willing to assist in any way he could. I would recommend them to anyone for any position they wanted. They are one of the best contract companies I worked for in my career.

Cook Systems made an attempt to open an office in the Atlanta market without carefully researching and understanding the varying market conditions from their operations in Memphis.  I had several meetings to present strategies afor the Atlanta market but at the end of the day they were not ready to make the investment.

Just another recruiting company. not interested in your future.Contracts play out and you will not have anything to rely on. They do not move you around to keep you employee. If you are a beggar then work here and you will be begging, I was seriously harassed by a state employee and nothing was done about it until I lost my job.

If you're looking into getting into IT this is a great place to start. I was placed and Fedex and have worked here for 3 years. I have learned a ton since then and have no complaints about Cook systems. Your experience will largely depend on where you are placed though. 

While Cook has a very relaxed working atmosphere, they are not the best are providing a career path for employees. They are willing to help some employees advance skills and grow while ignoring the want for more responsibilities and skills of others.
