Pros

Good training for recruiters, time passes fast when at job, met alot of people and made connections, can be promoted fast, opportunity to make commission, lunches and meals with people you have placed into jobs can be expensed

Cons

Cult like culture, long hours in office, have to be available always for calls and extra work and work on weekends, low starting pay, little room for advancement if you do not want to be in sales. High turnover. Management cares and asks too much about peoples personal lives, often leads to manipulative and toxic conversations. Most managers are micromanagers and don't walk the walk. Recruiters and admins get the brunt end of things. Little accountability for account managers and senior staff

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.
