Aerotek reviews

Over worked, underpaid, poor leadership. after making a move earlier in 2009, I've seen how a good Fortune 500 company should be run and it is very different from Aerotek. All of their senior leadership is bread from within so there is no outside perspective and ideas...

Where do I start? As a recruiter, you work from 7:30 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. (those that leave before 7:00 are unmotivated, have no ambitions, no work ethic, and are flat lazy), regardless of if there's a heavy work load. Face time is very big at Aerotek, and if you're not willing to put in 60 hours, you'll never get a promotion (I put my hours in, and thus got my promotion). Once you get promoted, a big deal is made. They throw a happy hour just for you, where the entire office drinks at the expense of Aerotek (they're quite fun). It's this big deal, you earned it, and your life is going to change. Only it doesn't. You still put in the same hours and get little results, but you at least get a $3k bump in pay (from $33k - $36k), and you get to tear your car apart, all for $0.13 a gallon (they recently raised it to $0.16 a gallon; the federal rate is $0.58 a gallon). When you crunch the number of hours that you work and the number of dollars you actually get on a paycheck, you're pretty much a $12 an hour person -- there's a reason the entire office is nothing but kids in their early 20's, and it's because people put in their 12-18 months, and find something better. If you're fresh out of college, I advise you to go. I've had friends who have done Enterprise and other "sales gigs" out of school and been ripped off, scammed, or stolen from. You have a true base pay here, and it's a big company. If nothing else, it's good experience. They'll make you think it's the best experience you could ever put on a resume, but outside of people at Aerotek, not many others have heard of Aerotek.
