Pros

If you're at the right place at the right time, you can make a lot of money. You will also be surrounded by other young people who like to go to happy hours, company is all about feedback and about 10% of the people in the company are great employees who care

Cons

company is very old fashioned, prides itself on getting to work at 7am and leaving at 7pm, pay is about 450$ a week without commission, commission is very luck based/ right place/ right time, intelligence is not rewarded and you will find yourself surrounded by people who pride themselves on having low intelligence. Felt a lot of backwards sexist, racist thinking

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.
