Pros

Awesome Director of Buisness Happy Hours Quarter Events Occasional Breakfast

Cons

Poor management Poor internal relationships 0 work life balance. Expect to be there 10 plus hours If you leave on time or even 30-40 mins after you are off you WILL be judged and asked if you truly want to work there You can not leave until your manager says you can leave You literally have to ask permission to leave Commission structure is terrible High School catty environment Not many genuine relationships People talk behind your back instead of having a constructive feedback session Lots and lots of turnover Company is a revolving door Promote favorites over performance based To be quite honest. Every single recruiter there HATES it.... They truly do, part of it is the nature of the job and a lot of it has to do with the way they conduct their business and treat their recruiters. They try and make up for all these cons by happy hours and food I would never recommend this job to anyone.

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.
