Pros

I worked for Aerotek for 3 years and the best part about this job are the people you work with. Typically outgoing and friendly environment. This job helped me gain the professional experience I needed to move forward in my career. Jason Korres is an AMAZING director (out of Fort Lauderdale). Really cared about my growth professionally and personally. Very progressive environment- diverse, respectful, and inclusive. Overall, I am happy to have worked for this company.

Cons

Recruiter Lifestyle: as a recruiter I felt overworked and disposable. I didn't feel as though my manager cared about my growth goals and only cared that she is making a lot of money. You are tied to a manager and if your manager isn't producing, you won't either. This was suppose to change, but it hasn't. This is why I started looking for new employment (after transferring to Orlando office). 3 promotions and 3 pay decreases- for recruiters your base doesn't go up when you are promoted into ARM/AM. The recruiting base is competitive, but the commission structure is very low. A lot is out of your control- Covid layoffs, classes pushed back, etc. All of this directly affects your pay. Benefits: you have them, but very high deductible.

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.
