Pros

Excellent training into position Good industry experience Energetic and outgoing environment, professionally competitive Can make 6 figures as an entry-level position

Cons

Extremely "clicky" environment Extreme favoritism Luck of the draw - have to be placed in an accomplished Account Managers triangle for success Success dependent on the effort of your management, cannot directly control your success and accomplishments Extremely high attrition in non-technical divisions makes it hard to grow spread and commission Hard work and accomplishment is overlooked by one number that multiple people must produce in order to influence Employees were promoted and praised with less merit because liked by DBO Horrible 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.
