Pros

You make lifelong friends (mostly because you are all being mistreated and overworked unhealthily all together and you bond over that). Great introductory training.

Cons

Everyone there is a walking HR violation. They pry into your personal life to use your personal story against you. They question you as a human being and someone is always crying there. The Account Managers go out and secretly drink while the Recruiters slave away. The company is filled with cheating wives, husbands, boyfriends, and girlfriends. You watch infidelity happen all the time. You are expected to work serious over time without appropriate compensation. You are expected to work on lunch breaks illegally. They are extremely manipulative and going in-house to work in Big Tech was the best decision. Some people stay for the fun, but the ones who are aware of how toxic the cycle is and how it not only impacts your professional life, but your personal life, are smart enough to leave. So much bad, they had to rebrand to where they no longer call themselves Aerotek.

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.
