Pros

No clocking in or out Free lunch if leftovers from training Pay is ok Promote from within, but only if you are a "favorite" they don't care about any previous experience.

Cons

The Tempe location is completely ran by recent college grads, who have no other professional experience. That is fine if you are in the same boat, but if you have experience in corporate America, it can be difficult to work for them. They have no clue how the real world works..as they have only worked at Aerotek and are full of the "Kool Aid" LOTS of overtime expected, and you will get talked to if you do not stay late on a weekly basis. Lots of bar hopping as "team building", so if you have a family or don't like to go out, this is not the place for you. Clients do not like the billing practices, and the expectations require you to nag them multiple times every week.

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.
