Pros

great overall business and corporate experience in sales, advertising, networking, pr. Great people to work with since they are all around the same age and good money to be made at a young age if your good at it

Cons

long hours, all the account managers think they are god's gift because they got promoted even though some of them are miserable at their job. not getting recognized for a good job without a "but do better" speech afterwards. All mishaps are blamed on recruiters. also the managers dont respect or care about the recruiters at all because they aren't "on the same level" even though it is no one's fault that everyone has to start off as a recruiter

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.
