Pros

I am currently working at my first assignment for Aerotek, and have been pleasantly surprised by my experience. Having spent several years dealing with other contract/temp agencies where the contract staff is treated like garbage, I was amazed at being treated like I'm worth my weight in gold by my Aerotek recruiters. Within a week of meeting with them, they had me out on interviews, and within two weeks I had an assignment making more than I did at my last perm job. It has been a really pleasant, stress-free experience. They did all the legwork, got me some great opportunities, and all I had to do was land the positions. That's what a temp agency is supposed to do. Too bad most don't!

Cons

The benefits are garbage, but that's pretty typical for temp companies. If you want good benefits you pretty much need a perm position. The communication regarding holiday hour changes between my assignment, my recruiters, and me was bad. If other employees hadn't told me about upcoming office closures, I'd have showed up to a locked building. (My managers and recruiters never reached out.)

Pros

Aerotek has some of the best benefits when compared to other contract houses. For an entry level employee, you earn up to 80 hours of vacation in the year with 4 personal celebration days.

Cons

Aerotek is very stingy when it comes to your salary and raises. My manager from the company I was working for said I was going to get a raise. Aerotek refused to reclassify me for that raise because I had been working there for less than a year and in the end took too long and my raise had been cancelled due to budgetary constraints.

Pros

Learned a lot professionally and was challenged.

Cons

People who work here have NO LIFE outside of work. I worked overtime starting the first week I was there, I dont mind working overtime on occasion but if you left on time here co-workers and managers alike take it as a lack of dedication and drive. Aerotek is a cult. They call their environment "feedback" friendly but its just managers tearing you down and telling you that you arent good at your job no matter how much overtime you put in or how hard you are working, nothing will ever be good enough. I am all about CONSTRUCTIVE critiscm but Aerotek makes their culture a place where it starts to become nearly impossible to feel good about the work you do because their is little to no encouragement. I left the office in tears (as did many others) at least once a week. The atrition rate here is sky high, when i started i was on a team of 8.. within weeks after i left there were 2 people still on my team.
