Aerotek reviews

Ageism. Set foot in the Brooklyn Center office and you will notice most everyone is under 30 years old. If they are they have been there since fresh out of college. They don’t know what a “normal” full time job looks like and when they are being manipulated to be a slave. They want you to work from the couch after a 10 hour day in office. They want you to work on weekends. They want you to be on call 24/7 often emailing late at night constant reminders and micromanaging. There’s a bajillion little updates and documents to “track” the job becomes 50% actually making progress and another 50% tracking that progress in a ton of different ways and if you forget to track your in trouble and not performing. Let the starts speak for themselves and let the rest fall away -oh yeah and starts are a lot easier to make when the CSAs actually answer their phones and make sure your contract employees are getting paid right and actually pretend they care. A few missed paychecks or wrong paychecks and not sending pay stubs to contractors when you requested it a million times really makes you lose your face as a recruiter fast. Remember your best source of employees is your contractors friends and bribing them with lunches is not going to make them feel any better or make them excited with their friends when their pay check has been screwed up for weeks! Nightmare.

Work-life balance is terrible (7:30am-6pm, at minimum). Vast majority of leaders have only ever worked for Aerotek, resulting in a narrow-minded view of both business and culture. Leans on internal relationship building to try to retain employees, which results in a team that continues to show up feeling “stuck”. The fix is to attempt to distract with happy hours and closed-door gossip/vent sessions. Limited opportunities for career progression.
