      Pros

      Good place to start if you don't have much experience.

      Cons

      My main problem with this company is that they hire recruiters as exempt employees and work them to death. The recruiters at Aerorek don't meet the requirements to be exempt especially with their base salary so low. When I factored in all the hours I was working 60+ and divided it by pay salary, I was making less than the general laborers I was recruiting were making. It is so nice to work now at a company that doesn't take advantage of you and when 5 o'clock hits the job is over. At Aerotek there were times when we would stay until 8PM or be required to attend a happy hour late at night. It hurt my family life tremendously.

      Pros

      Great people, great training, great entry level opportunity to get into recruiting and sales. If you are successful you will make more here than about anywhere else. Performing Recruiters are making $55k-$75k. Great Recruiters are making $100k+. Every large office has salespeople making $200k-$400k. Culture is 100% committed and generally cool type-A's you would want to have a beer with. The skills, drive, and sense of urgency you learn at Aerotek serve you well anywhere you may go later.

      Cons

      If you are just looking for a low-commitment 8-5 job while posting on social media about where you are partying that night...you will not like Aerotek. Success requires an all in approach both in work ethic and active support of the culture. That is not for everyone. There are Political Science grads 3 years out of college making $200k+, but there is a price to be paid. All the tough work comes first. If you are not up for the level of work and commitment, Aerotek is not for you. If you are, none of this is really a "con" As far a real cons go, the benefits are only OK, and finding work/life balance is pretty difficult.
