Pros

-A few good people work here. They can train and mentor you pretty well. -The job that awaits you after Aerotek. Aerotek makes any job after this feel like the greatest.

Cons

Too many to count. Really screwed up cult-like management. They will find out something about you (a lack of a father figure, former traumatic adversity, etc) and use it against you in order to motivate you. They belittle you in front of the entire office in meetings regardless of your stature. The women in the office are treated poorly in my opinion which explains the overabundance of males. I've seen women cursed at, received sleazy comments about clothes, and treated in an inferior manner. The managers are extremely cutthroat when it comes to employees dating in the office. I've worked at plenty of companies that function very well with employees dating. But it's a huge topic of discussion at manager meetings since they will fire anyone in a secret relationship. This makes the whole office feel like a school. What makes this ironic is that half the managers are in relationships with various people around the office. The actual business can morally bankrupt too. I've seen recruiters lie about position lengths, qualifications, and locations. The place feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen. This on top of a 10 hour workday that amount to nothing and a VERY shady hourly to salary pay structure create the perfect worst work environment.

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.
