Aerotek reviews

It has a very cult-like vibe, they leave no room for dissent or ideas. People who leave are bad mouthed and publicly dragged through the mud to the rest of the company. Their base pay is TERRIBLE, if you don't start getting bonuses right away, you hardly make a livable wage, especially in the Seattle area. It's a revolving door, recruiters are there for a few months and leave for better jobs. This makes management scared so they try and promote people who aren't ready, into sales roles. Which brings me to my final point, they will try and force you to become a sales account manager, it is the ONLY career path, despite what they tell you. Overall, it's a negative place to work.

My main problem with this company is that they hire recruiters as exempt employees and work them to death. The recruiters at Aerorek don't meet the requirements to be exempt especially with their base salary so low. When I factored in all the hours I was working 60+ and divided it by pay salary, I was making less than the general laborers I was recruiting were making. It is so nice to work now at a company that doesn't take advantage of you and when 5 o'clock hits the job is over. At Aerotek there were times when we would stay until 8PM or be required to attend a happy hour late at night. It hurt my family life tremendously.
