Pros

Learning the industry, fun coworkers, vacation time accrued quickly after 3 years. Great stepping stone to bigger and better things.

Cons

Expectations can be unrealistic at times, manager was an absentee manager who was maybe in the office 8 hours a week, trigger happy with firing people and even after being there almost 4 years and hitting a year contest I was terminated, without any communication with my Director (only my Account Manager), after they found out I was looking and had a potential offer. They don't value recruiters - only Account Managers. Recruiters at Aerotek are viewed as very replaceable.

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.
