Pros

It is a really great place to start your career in either Administrative support or Sales. You learn a lot about how the entire recruiting/hiring process is run, and from a sales/recruiting perspective, the money is good right out of college. Taking personal time off was almost never a problem as long as you are forthcoming and schedule it ahead of time.

Cons

The room for advancement on either side of the spectrum is tough. If they like where you are, you are going to stay there no matter what you do or say. The pay for administration is terrible, far below par, especially considering the amount of work that is asked of you.

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.
