Pros
-they work hard to create buy-in. There are company happy hours and team builders to maintain the culture and there are a lot of amazing people that work for Aerotek
Cons
Where to start... The SDO preaches unlimited growth opportunities, multiple career paths, competitive salaries and bonus potential and a "start up" culture. First of all, there are no growth opportunities. As a recruiter the only promotion available is a recruiting manager role, and during my 1.5 years at Aerotek I have only seen two people get promoted into this role. There are three other roles that you can transition into, but they are all lateral moves... many of which would require taking a pay cut. With that being said, you will be provided 0 continued training or development to progress in your career. Second, the base pay for a recruiter is about $12.50 an hour ($33,000/50+ hour work weeks). They will tell you that you will jump up to 50k within 6 months, however getting this pay raise is based on a quota that is tough to hit. Realistically it might take over a year to hit this quota. Now let's talk about bonuses.. HA! Bonuses do not exist unless you are at a specific threshold... which no one in the company has hit. My advice to people considering Aerotek, try working in a local field office.. you will work hard and put in long hours but you see results and will be rewarded for your hard work. DO NOT work in the Strategic Delivery Operations
