Aerotek reviews

Mistreating their employees. I was supposed to transfer to a different location after maternity leave due to spouses military orders. Was told everything was good to go for my transfer before going on maternity leave and was not going to have to interview again. Upon arriving to new location I was told my transfer was denied and now HR is saying I resigned. I never quit and the company had me in limbo for weeks before ending my employment and paying out PTO. I would not recommend this company!

That being said... the majority of the time, the work environment was extremely toxic. The amount of drama and rule breaking was incredible. It's like high school and college mixed together in the worst way possible. There were inappropriate relationships going on between recruiters AND between "managers" and recruiters. Aerotek LOVES to party and celebrate their wins, which could be seen as a pro but they take it way too far. In terms of the actual work, it was very competitive and not easy to hit the goals they have set. Unless you cheat the process, are dishonest, steal candidates from other recruiters and generally lack morals, it is difficult to make any sort of commission. And if you are not at commission level, you aren't valuable to them and they WILL phase you out of the company. If you want to be valued for your quality of work and professionalism, this is not the environment for you. If all you care about is making money and don't mind stepping all over your colleagues and candidates to make it happen, you may see more success here. Regardless of how I feel about this company, things will never change because this is a SALES environment. If you are looking to get into recruiting, put in your 1-2 years and then move into an internal recruiting position.
