Pros
I learned I never want anything to do with people or a company like this ever again.
Cons
During your interview when they tell you what your work hours are THEY ARE LYING. DO NOT LISTEN. They expect you to be working at least 50 hrs a week to keep your job, 60 hrs a week to be a decent employee, and more if you want to do well. They will then continue to expect you to work off the clock as well. "Just do this when you are watching TV, take phone calls on the weekends, you aren't doing anything most of the holiday anyway just send some emails, connect with people on LinkedIn, etc." I have had my manager calling and texting me as late as midnight and as early as 4:00 in the morning. They will also expect you to make Aerotek your entire social life. I was lectured by my manager for not sharing enough of my personal life with the team. The managers are bullies at best, abusive at worst. Typically they are abusive because they are being abused by the people above them. They will call you a Technical Recruiter at a staffing company but let's be real; you're a headhunter at a temp agency/pyramid scheme. Staffing companies are predatory business models and Aerotek is no better. The people at my specific office are people I pray I never have to see again. The fact that this business is still running shows what is wrong with society.
