Pros

Your coworkers become family. Decent job if you are fresh out of college and want to gain experience. But that's all you want from it - learn what not to do. Do not become a lifer.

Cons

The company does not care for it's employees. They have heard from disgruntle employees for years and years. They have an EXTREMELY high turnover rate in all departments...that says it all, but they don't care. Instead of making things better, they do things to make it worse. Very few people are actually happy to work here. The ones that are happy have drank the kool-aid, preach the guiding principals but do not follow them and know how to manipulate things in their favor. There are great career opportunities here if you suck at your job and being a leader, but are able to get in with the "cliches". It's a hot mess from the field offices all the way up the corporate ladder. My personal experience was a very hostile work environment. I cannot even begin to describe how awful it was. From being yelled at for things I didn't do to getting in trouble because the team wasn't properly staffed, even after you and your coworkers told leadership over and over again. It came to the point to where I decided my happiest and self worth meant more than being disrespected by incompetent people. Quitting is the best decision I've made in my life in a long time.

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.
