Pros

* Good recruiter training when you first start. Do not stay more than 1-2 years though. * Fun happy hours * If you make the company money you can get away with what ever you want and there are definite double standards.

Cons

* Zero work life balance - 60 hours a week every week. Even saw someone come to work the day after their child was born. * Dishonest Values - they only care about the company making money and have no problem looking the other way if the person is making them money. * There are hazing rituals similar to what you would find in a fraternity or sorority. * Sales managers act like they are better than others and don't show respect to people. * Less than 3% of the recruiters hit their goals. They will say that is because they promote so many people - not true - if you are thinking about working there ask them how many recruiters hit contest last year. Also ask how many recruiters promoted to sales hit their goals. A recruiters goal is roughly the same as their manager but there are 2 recruiters to every account manager.

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.
