Pros

-Great culture and team environment -Back office resources, administration, and support are top notch but underpaid -Commission is structured so you can work as hard as you want to earn more or give yourself a "raise" -360 Feedback and sharing of information is welcomed and accepted -A lot of personal and professional development via on the job training and empowerment of employees -Opportunity to be your own business owner -Accountability to keep you focused on your goals -A balanced market share with enough to be credible but still a lot of growth opportunities and potential -Unlimited resources and communication from all levels of the organization -Professional team members that know when to work hard, but also know when to relax and have some fun at the same time -Very numbers and goal oriented company. You know where you stand at all times

Cons

-Upward mobility or promotability stops after you hit a certain level -There is a huge lack of training once you are promoted to a certain level -There are a lot of people who have "seniority" who get away with things that are counter-cultural but it's overlooked because they've been with the company a long time -Some of management is solely focused on the highest producers which are not always the best example of professionals for our company, other management realizes that numbers are not everything -Stock in the company is not offered to high producers who are under 10 years in the company and not at the director level -Very few females at the director level and none in upper management -Sales management tool is outdated and no longer effective -No option to work from home limits your work/life balance

Pros

Great people, great training, great entry level opportunity to get into recruiting and sales. If you are successful you will make more here than about anywhere else. Performing Recruiters are making $55k-$75k. Great Recruiters are making $100k+. Every large office has salespeople making $200k-$400k. Culture is 100% committed and generally cool type-A's you would want to have a beer with. The skills, drive, and sense of urgency you learn at Aerotek serve you well anywhere you may go later.

Cons

If you are just looking for a low-commitment 8-5 job while posting on social media about where you are partying that night...you will not like Aerotek. Success requires an all in approach both in work ethic and active support of the culture. That is not for everyone. There are Political Science grads 3 years out of college making $200k+, but there is a price to be paid. All the tough work comes first. If you are not up for the level of work and commitment, Aerotek is not for you. If you are, none of this is really a "con" As far a real cons go, the benefits are only OK, and finding work/life balance is pretty difficult.
