Pros

Free lunches. That’s all I can even think of. Nothing more.

Cons

Ageism. Set foot in the Brooklyn Center office and you will notice most everyone is under 30 years old. If they are they have been there since fresh out of college. They don’t know what a “normal” full time job looks like and when they are being manipulated to be a slave. They want you to work from the couch after a 10 hour day in office. They want you to work on weekends. They want you to be on call 24/7 often emailing late at night constant reminders and micromanaging. There’s a bajillion little updates and documents to “track” the job becomes 50% actually making progress and another 50% tracking that progress in a ton of different ways and if you forget to track your in trouble and not performing. Let the starts speak for themselves and let the rest fall away -oh yeah and starts are a lot easier to make when the CSAs actually answer their phones and make sure your contract employees are getting paid right and actually pretend they care. A few missed paychecks or wrong paychecks and not sending pay stubs to contractors when you requested it a million times really makes you lose your face as a recruiter fast. Remember your best source of employees is your contractors friends and bribing them with lunches is not going to make them feel any better or make them excited with their friends when their pay check has been screwed up for weeks! Nightmare.

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.
