Pros

Learned a lot professionally and was challenged.

Cons

People who work here have NO LIFE outside of work. I worked overtime starting the first week I was there, I dont mind working overtime on occasion but if you left on time here co-workers and managers alike take it as a lack of dedication and drive. Aerotek is a cult. They call their environment "feedback" friendly but its just managers tearing you down and telling you that you arent good at your job no matter how much overtime you put in or how hard you are working, nothing will ever be good enough. I am all about CONSTRUCTIVE critiscm but Aerotek makes their culture a place where it starts to become nearly impossible to feel good about the work you do because their is little to no encouragement. I left the office in tears (as did many others) at least once a week. The atrition rate here is sky high, when i started i was on a team of 8.. within weeks after i left there were 2 people still on my team.

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.
