Pros

Aerotek is only good if you are fresh out of college and have no job experience. You will learn much about recruiting techniques, interview skills, sales and customer service.

Cons

Aerotek is the military academy of all staffing companies, the benefits are horrible, you will have to work long, long hours and forget about asking for time off. Compensation is relative to a lot of factors, office size, number or recruiters in your pit, manager abilities. If your manager is not good, you will not make any money. You'll have to recruit for others which takes even more time. Lastly, the commission is tiered and is rather poor. You will be driven through the mud before you see any profit as a recruiter. the environment is so so, everyone is always stressed out so be prepared to bump heads with a few people and have your spirit broken, a few times.

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.
