Aerotek reviews

Mostly working with millennials. Very fast paced environment. If you have a family and kids this job is not for you. Recruiters are stuck at a desk all day but managers can work from home pretty much whenever they want. In order to hit expected goals you will need to work 7 am - 6 pm every day. You will get scolded for trying to leave the office at 5 pm. They will tell you the entry level recruiter jobs are open due to “growth” but it’s almost always turnover related. Either someone quit because it’s too stressful or got fired for not hitting unrealistic metrics. If you start here you are most likely working for a newly promoted manager on the fast track to sales with zero, ZERO management experience and no training how to lead a team. Or you are working with a manager who has been with the company 5-10+ years who is stuck in their ways because they’ve tasted success and want to go on a free trip to Cancun every year from your hard work. They give you a lot of vacation but it’s hard to get approval to take time off. You will get questioned as to why you need off and you aren’t staying in the office to get starts for clients. 401k match is terrible, they get away from this by promoting all the potential sales bonuses and money you COULD make. In reality only the top 3-5% of the company will get these bonuses. Can be very unprofessional and very unethical business practices at times to push candidates in the door any way possible. Fees are outrageously high and don’t help save clients money by using us so they go elsewhere for cheaper.

The biggest obstacle in your job is the company itself and its system that is "proven to work". It doesn't work, they basically want you to work all the time (inside and outside of the office) and overkill your hiring so that something sticks pretty much. Management pretty much forces you to act happy or else they see it as having a "bad attitude", so god forbid you mention anything that even remotely sounds like you are frustrated or unhappy with the role. They try to make you feel like they are listening to you and want to help, don't buy it. They try to promote too quickly which results in Account Managers not being ready for their jobs, and when things go south they blame the recruiters even though a lot of the job is completely out of our control. This isn't the worst job to get into, but be extremely cautious about who you open up to in the office, especially in the Orlando office.
