Aerotek reviews

-Management/ leadership - looks down upon recruiters and there is so much miscommunication between recruiters and sales managers/director. As a recruiter you are never right and your opinion does not matter. -Micromanagement- sales managers have no management experience. As a recruiter you can expect many emails, calls, or meetings throughout the day and depending on the manager they do not know how to handle feedback or giving feedback. As a man you will be expected to have a clean cut look or you will be handed a razor to go shave your face when you get into work. -NO work life balance- you will be expected to be in not even a minute past 7:30am. you will be working normal hours 7:30am - 7pm. -Cannot trust management/ Director- some of the women employees are told to wear more makeup and to do their hair differently, and to dress a certain way. Hostile environment where some women are sexually harassed by a Director practice leads, higher ups, and sales managers. No serious actions are taken to handle the problems. They push everything under the rug that makes them look bad. -Immaturity- sales managers would swear, scream and call recruiters out in front of everyone if you were not doing things their way , didn't hit your metrics or if they were having a hard day. -unethical- they act like they always care about their employees or candidates best interest. but are only worried about what is best for them. As a recruiter you want what is best for your candidates and if a candidate chooses another job/ or if they aren't happy at the one you placed them in the managers blame you. If something happens in an employee's/ candidate's personal life, well it doesn't matter you should be at work (even with PTO/ vacation time). -Intense environment with unrealistic expectations-There is not enough time in one realistic work day for recruiters to hit all of their expectations (phone calls, submittals, interviews, sourcing, set meetings, and more). if you do not hit your activity expect to stay until you do or you will be coming in on the weekend to hit it. -High turn over- Management/leadership does not see their own faults and this is why recruiters are leaving. -You better be able to have a "story" or share your feelings or it is not acceptable/ you will not get anywhere in the company Do not work at Aerotek if you cannot handle high stress

I do not even know where to begin with how bad of experience this job was. I can start by saying that they try to sell you on the dream of making a ton of money through your interview process when you actually won’t make enough to move out of your parents’ house. They claim that if you put in the effort then one day you could be making a six figure salary. What they are really saying is that you will have a rare opportunity to make that kind of money if you drink all of the Aerotek "Kool-Aid". What I mean by that last statement is that anyone who may have a different way of thinking or might have a better way of doing things that prove to be beneficial will be either forced to quit or will try to find reasons to fire you. This leads to my next point which is the amount of unprofessionalism that happens within the office cannot be matched. It got so bad that I started to believe that Aerotek didn’t even have a human resource department. If a real human resources representative would have been present during regular work hours I wouldn't be surprised if half the office lost their jobs due to unprofessional behavior. Now, let me explain how bad management is. Imagine being managed and treated as if you were still attending middle school. Everything you do is constantly being micro-managed to the point you will have to repeat yourself countless times on what you’re doing within an hour time frame. You start each day at 7:30am and you are not ALLOWED to leave to until about 5:30pm and that is if your manager is feeling generous. If you have something planned after work like seeing your family or maybe you have a date, you better just cancel because you’re not able to leave. Now, this is an honest statement when I say I worked very hard for the first 6 months and was one of the better recruiters within my office but after that point I did realize that all that hard work you put in will eventually amount to nothing. I won’t revisit the point that you WILL NOT make any good money at Aerotek but you will almost not gain any quality skills to help advance your career. My experience with Aerotek and let me stress that this was "my experience" was so bad I felt like I began to get physically sick with unneeded stress, anxiety and frustration. I will NEVER recommend working for Aerotek and I can thank them for wasting a year of my life.
