Pros

Very friendly and up beat environment. Great benefits. The training is very well structured and detailed. Every time a team member accomplishes something the whole team celebrates their success and never goes unnoticed.

Cons

They over work their employees, they don't have any respect or values for their employees work life balance. working 70-80 hours a week is common there, and weekends and no over time pay. You are also required to work during your lunch by going on meetings. If you don't meet your daily or weekly goals they look down upon you. They make it seem like there is lots of room for growth within the organization, but the only way to move up is doing sales. They don't want any of their employee's to stay as recruiters but rather train them into sales even if the employee is a good recruiter and enjoys recruiting. They brain wash their employees and enslave them.

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.
