Pros

It varies from field office to field office, but at corporate, they support work/life balance, they do promote from within, and truly make an effort to find out your personal goals as well as professional ones and support those as well. There is a strong culture of corporate family. And if you're outgoing and can bond, it's easy to move up in management.

Cons

There is a glass ceiling--senior mgt is still mainly white former jocks who played team sports together in college. They really are inspired leaders -- they can motivate and build team spirit like nobody's business, but not all are as strong on business aspects. When they hire senior people to fill specific gaps in expertise, they are a breed apart -- not an accepted part of the "team", and if you're merely excellent at your job, you're less likely to be promoted than if you're outgoing and ok. Not for nothing was one of the original slogans "character over competence".

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.
