      Micromanagement, poor management - Recruiter Aerotek Employee Review

      Pros

      Disclaimer: I was a top performer, averaging around 10K in spread for 9 months prior to leaving Nice foot in the door out of college Uncapped commission (tough to accomplish the high threshhold, though) Solid resources to identify candidates Awesome if you get in with the correct team (i.e., seasonsed sales rep w/ good territory)

      Cons

      Ridiculous expectations Extreme micromanagement (20 "progress" meetings per week) Long, long hours (spent 30 minutes a day there just for face time) Non existent work/life balance Inexperienced and untrained managers Depending on where you are, DBO and Account Manager arrogance Roller coaster ride - good when its good, bad when it's bad Unpredictable product - people Popularity contest Need to really excel to make more than $70k from recruiting chair High attrition and internal turnover makes it hard to get comfortable Too political

      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.
