Pros

Young comany culture, working with peers Recognition when you do a good job Building relationships with different types of people Helps to quickly develop professional communication skills Opportunity to work independently with a lot of responsibility

Cons

If you do not want sales, you have no opportunity for growth If you are not a direct producer you are not valued equally When you do get promoted, your responsibilities double and your salary increase is bascially the 3% cost of living yearly at other companies When you recruit for great companies, you realize how below average the company is in terms of benefits and work/life balance. You will work 10 hour days and be expected to work from home every night for free, you never get paid for any overtime (thus current class action lawsuit)

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.
