Pros
Aerotek is fairly well organized and you are fully aware of what is expected of you. Aerotek is an entry company for new graduates into the recruiting/staffing world.
Cons
Aerotek is well-organized, but the organizing seems to serve as surveillance of employee work. The unusual "carefrontations" and "red zones" are designed to keep management aware of your work, but serve more to shame employees who do not perform up to Aerotek's expectations which seem to be extraordinarily high. In my eight years with Aerotek I would become nervous and anxious before these events. Management and front line workers have little or no experience working for other staffing agencies or in other professions as most started with Aerotek after college and are exceptionally young. Therefore, the understanding of how the industry works is insufficient an their compassion and understanding of job applicants is nil. The atmosphere is stressful and you must be willing to work 65-70 hours per week minimum. I would work a minimum of 12 hour days Monday-Friday and 5-10 hours each and every Saturday. Job applicants get little feedback and have little communication with recruiters. Recruiters rarely respond to problems job applicants had and when I attempted to do so I was rebuked by management. I left Aerotek because I became too old for the agency. The staff is very young and I no longer fit in. Furthermore, I needed to get away from the stress and anxiety I felt Aerotek.
