They will run you ragged....maybe even steal your soul.

Pros

Learning the industry, fun coworkers, vacation time accrued quickly after 3 years. Great stepping stone to bigger and better things.

Cons

Expectations can be unrealistic at times, manager was an absentee manager who was maybe in the office 8 hours a week, trigger happy with firing people and even after being there almost 4 years and hitting a year contest I was terminated, without any communication with my Director (only my Account Manager), after they found out I was looking and had a potential offer. They don't value recruiters - only Account Managers. Recruiters at Aerotek are viewed as very replaceable.

Horrible Management, 60-75% Turnover, Zero Work Life Balance

Business Outlook

Pros

Better be money motivated or you won't get hired. Then realize that you're making like $10/hour because you put in 50+/week and you'll wonder why you hoped to get hired. Started paying people a bonus for how many years of service they've been with the company while their best and brightest left for better opportunities. Great place to work a year if you can make it that long to build some business acumen, otherwise don't believe the lies they feed you during the interview process....none of it is true.

Cons

Those in power have never managed anyone before so they don't understand how to build a team, motivate others or help you build your career. Party or leave, after working your 10-11 hour day, you better go out for happy hour or you'll be shunned and thought of as not a teammate. Better not try and make friends, because you'll be looked at as a "clique" and detrimental to the team. Keep your significant others away as much as they try to suck them in and brainwash them, they'll hate the company from day 1. The company values are completely backwards. Party and drink like we're in college then get angry at those who make poor decisions...double standards galore. Do yourself a favor and run in the complete opposite direction from Aerotek. There are a lot more quality companies in Omaha, don't waste your time with one that is predicated on lies and greed.
