Pros

No pros to mention at Aerotek

Cons

I came into this job with a positive and energetic attitude only to be destroyed by the awful management. I was thrown into the assignments without proper training. My boss was always stressed and would not answer my questions nor did she take the time to help me. The staff was extremely unwelcoming. I was supposed to be trained by someone in my position, yet the coworker could not make eye contact with me, mumbled every statement, and was totally disengaged. However, I spent every day trying to accomplish every task, with little direction, yet when i would complete about 95% of the tasks, my boss would berate me for missing the 5% she never mentioned. After several months of sarcastic comments, eye rolling condescension, and overall hostile environment, I finally defended myself with a mild sarcastic reply that only made her worse. I My boss promptly called me in for a negative performance interview with the director. In the meeting, I was stunned. She faked a positive and encouraging attitude that I never saw before, but told the boss that she had tried helping me so much yet I still was not getting it and told the boss that I reacted improperly the prior day. After hearing this blatant lie, I realized I was meant for way better things (like an encouraging workplace, one that actually trains their employees and wants to see them grow) and my self-esteem was too good for this place. My boss was so phony and over the top with this meeting, but I should thank her for making me finally realize this workplace was awful. As a new graduate with my first job, I really wanted to make it work and stuck around for way too long.

Pros

Good life discount gym discount was the biggest pro here.. What I thought was a pro was being on your own for months at an end, but you are expected to reach out to senior leaders (aka account managers) even if you feel you are okay doing just fine. I can't actually think of any PROS except that the account managers literally don't have to do any work. Half the office was on their phones playing Pokemon GO when I was there in the summer.

Cons

micro management, lack of development, co-dependence, incompetency, lack of work ethic, disorganization, arrogant leaders, unintelligent. They take any distance as a sign of arrogance and lack of communication. It's recruiting, not rocket science-these people that have been there for years on end literally doing nothing for the company. They consistently fool around during the day, take hours off for lunch and play golf in the office. Sounds chill, but too chill. There was literally no motivation amongst the ranks any sign of work ethic was just going against the grain. Worst internship I have ever done. Luckily I am going back to school, so I won't have to come back to this office.

Pros

No clocking in or out Free lunch if leftovers from training Pay is ok Promote from within, but only if you are a "favorite" they don't care about any previous experience.

Cons

The Tempe location is completely ran by recent college grads, who have no other professional experience. That is fine if you are in the same boat, but if you have experience in corporate America, it can be difficult to work for them. They have no clue how the real world works..as they have only worked at Aerotek and are full of the "Kool Aid" LOTS of overtime expected, and you will get talked to if you do not stay late on a weekly basis. Lots of bar hopping as "team building", so if you have a family or don't like to go out, this is not the place for you. Clients do not like the billing practices, and the expectations require you to nag them multiple times every week.
