Pros

-Great Culture -Expense account -Professional development for young fresh graduates -Resources provided by Aerotek

Cons

-Management is a joke -Brainwashing techniques used -Excessive meetings -Hours are crazy long, (Start at 7:45am sharp. finishing around 5:30 at a MINIMUM) -Inconsistent standards from different account managers -You get blamed for things out of your control -You are represented by a spread number (Ultimately what you produce) -TURNOVER, I cannot stress this one hard enough, you might think turnover is not a big factor, but Aerotek is a revolving door, people go in and out all the time, demotivating for employees working there currently -Brainwashing, they try to brain wash you on a daily into thinking that this is the greatest company to work for. -Tenured account managers who are living off past success -Leadership styles of account managers. I have been sworn at using profanity, I have been involved in pressuring conversations in which they try and put the blame on you and turn the tables on you, -Feedback rich environment, they promote a feedback rich environment out of love for the other person, but instead it is just a bunch of young millennials giving each other feedback and getting everyone more angry. -Professionalism, swearing and dirty jokes are being said on a daily. Not in the workplace!!

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.
