Pros

-A few good people work here. They can train and mentor you pretty well. -The job that awaits you after Aerotek. Aerotek makes any job after this feel like the greatest.

Cons

Too many to count. Really screwed up cult-like management. They will find out something about you (a lack of a father figure, former traumatic adversity, etc) and use it against you in order to motivate you. They belittle you in front of the entire office in meetings regardless of your stature. The women in the office are treated poorly in my opinion which explains the overabundance of males. I've seen women cursed at, received sleazy comments about clothes, and treated in an inferior manner. The managers are extremely cutthroat when it comes to employees dating in the office. I've worked at plenty of companies that function very well with employees dating. But it's a huge topic of discussion at manager meetings since they will fire anyone in a secret relationship. This makes the whole office feel like a school. What makes this ironic is that half the managers are in relationships with various people around the office. The actual business can morally bankrupt too. I've seen recruiters lie about position lengths, qualifications, and locations. The place feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen. This on top of a 10 hour workday that amount to nothing and a VERY shady hourly to salary pay structure create the perfect worst work environment.

Pros

Seems to be a commitment to doing things the right way. Large company- gives you access to contracts out of other locations, giving you a leg up to break business Flexible work environment- no one is over your shoulder watching every move you make. You are expected you hit your goals and they expect you to be responsible for that

Cons

Favortism- you can be fired for not hitting your goals- yet, other people will be in line for a promotion, even if they are not performing as good as you Inconsistent disciplinary actions Politics- there is a lot of them played here.

Springboard

Pros

Strong and enjoyable company culture: Very young and energetic. Everyone is very bought-in to the corporate values. Great experience building: -If you are interested in a career in sales or recruiting, this is a great place to break into the space if you have little/no experience. Not a ton of direct training, but they will make you get out of your comfort zone and build good experience being on the phone a lot. The skills you are required to develop are very relevant in most industries for sales and recruiting. From my experience, it is common for young professionals to use this company as a "spring board", and management is aware of this. Salary: Once "earned" after an hourly "training period", base salary pays very well for entry level positions especially.

Cons

Boarderline micro-management Accountability is valued highly, so much so that you may be asked to check in on your goals for the day - set by management - constantly through out the day. They are big on giving "feedback" and they give it very often. Some might not work well with this management style. "Smile and Dial" There is a heavy emphasis placed on call volume, you may even find yourself being asked to call candidates that have - sometimes multiple times - displayed a strong disinterest in working with an agency, or candidates who's resume's are 10 years old, as it is part of their model to reach out to candidates in high volume. This can be exhausting and motivation reducing for some. There was definitely a sense of distrust in the air in my experience. Very high turnover for recruiters and low/mid level AE/Managers The total adherence to the corporate goals and values felt ingenuine. I felt that my colleagues and I were not especially valued, almost as if they were squeezing us for all we were worth, and then disposing after total exhaustion. While I felt the experience was valuable, the overall management style in my office was not something I would like to return to.
