Pros

There are a few that do get rich, I’d say 4/100. The management does a good job of keeping everyone pretty greased up at every opportunity. They love to constantly provide opportunities for the whole office to go out and get hammered, provide a steady flow of excuses to drink in the office, etc.

Cons

This company is a revolving door of ambitious young business grads promised to get rich quick by making an enormous amount of phone calls during their 12+ hour days of “selling” terrible jobs. If you are one of the few selected favorites of one of the account managers, they may take you under their wing. Then, and only then will you have a great opportunity to exclusive easy-to-fill reqs. If not, well then you’ll be on a 12 hour hamster wheel of phone calls all day making money for your account manager and taking home pennies. They will make you stay late, come in on weekends, do whatever it takes to get their lame jobs filled. Keep in mind you’re convincing people to leave their job to take a terrible job that the company that hired Aerotek was unable to fill. Typically because the job sucks.

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.
