Pros

great training, fun office environment (sometimes), they hire all the same type of people, so chance are high you'll meet at least one lifetime friend there.

Cons

honestly, mostly everything else. training is pretty much nonexistent - they throw you in the fire pretty fast and expect you to figure it out. the turnover is pretty telling of management and their expectations. minimum of 60 hour weeks and if you're not there for "face time" , it doesn't matter how you're doing - they will tell you you could be doing better. they will work you to the bone and then when you leave everyone there will act like you never existed. they have ZERO diversity and are not at all inclusive. if you are "diverse" they will put you on the manufacturing team where most of the candidates are bilingual/ESL. a group of us tried organizing a pride parade and no one showed up. management is a boys club. straight, white, competitive males will do well here but eventually leave. there isn't work life balance and they tell you that. they call it "work life harmony." pretty much anyone who has been successful at aerotek woburn in the last 10 years has all left the company in the last year. I would give culture, values, and senior management zero stars if possible. as for who they hire internally, they will hire literally anyone that says they are looking to make a lot of money. LOTS of "opportunity" dollars. i was a top performing recruiter for over a year and still never saw those opportunity dollars....

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.
