I was so embarrassed to say I worked at "Aerotek"

Pros

Flexible schedule when more senior (coffee meetings first thing in the morning, so I could sleepin, or at 5:00, so I could leave the office at a "normal" hour). I made some great friends.

Cons

Oh, wow...where do I begin. LONG hours. LOW pay. Horrible benefits. Cliques. Sickening politics. Stupid numbers we were supposed to hit. Oh, the guilt: guilt for taking time off, guilt for not hitting numbers, guilt, guilt, guilt. Ugh. And the poor, brand new recruiters...we just wanted to tell them how horrible it was, and to get out now, but we don't dare!

Great place for experience

Pros

It definitely is a fun environment since everyone is so young. It is also good to be around so many young people that are ambitious and want to succeed

Cons

The hours are miserable, the fact that you are held to a certain amount of numbers a week vs quality is ridiculous. The account managers can be disrespectful and rude sometimes as well if they dont like your candidates

Pros

They hire you out of college with no experience, the atmosphere is incredibly loose (bordering on unprofessional at times), and everyone is 35 years old or less so it is really easy to get along with most people. If you make a little bit of an effort, you can actually learn a little bit about sales, HR, etc. The company definitely embraces the phrase, "work hard, play harder."

Cons

This place steals your soul. You are expected to work 50-60 hours a week while being compensated for 40. The tiered commission structure puts money directly into the pockets of managers, DBOs, regional and corporate leadership atop the pyramid. People are only nice when things are going well. It is one of the least professional places I have experienced as an employee or customer. Communication is lacking between all entities. Time off is frowned upon, but is one of the major selling points. You're out of pocket 1.2 Gs a year for medical costs, and even then you pay 20%. There is nowhere to go besides sales. Since recruiters are at the bottom, they are always wrong. Carefrontation is really just arguing. Account managers should be called Micro Managers. The endless stories about how great the company is makes you a little sick to your stomach when you know people who work for other staffing agencies that have a better business plan and make 2X as much money as you do in the same position.
