A good window into the world of HR, but it's extremely limited.

Pros

Let me just say that working at Aerotek isn't so bad, but I would encourage most people to consider it their "first job." I would suggest that you don't see this job as a career. Very few people are fortunate (or lucky I should say) to actually make A LOT of money here. Overall, the staffing industry isn't a prime place to be. Go in wanting to learn about the job market and what you need to succeed, and get out while you can.

Cons

Long hours, fairly low pay. If you're lucky enough to actually get a legit manager, you could be set. However, you may get someone that micromanages and it will drive you CRAZY.

It is a demanding environment that will progress people in a professional career or weed them out.

Pros

You will learn a lot about business if you have no experience. They do a great job of teaching the fundamentals to those just leaving business school. They will also do a good job of setting you up for a future career in sales. You can also meet a lot of great people there that love to have a good time and form networks for the future. I would recommend them to somebody that wants to work hard and get some experience, but dont be afraid to GET OUT.

Cons

Say goodbye to your life. Work life balance is non existent, if you try leaving at 5 you're basically ridiculed by your manager. 7-7 is pretty commonplace, I had days I worked from 7am - 9pm pretty regularly...oh, except Fridays when you are "Permitted" to leave at 5pm. But that's the only day it is acceptable. You will be promised $100k within a yr if you just work hard. There are only a very few that are lucky enough to break that magical number...and then maintain it. Recruiters average about $10 bucks an hr once you factor in the amount of hours you work. They brainwash you into thinking if you leave you will never find another company that is as great as THE MIGHTY AEROTEK, not true at all. Dont be scared to leave.
