Pros

-Have many connections for job opportunities -Offer health insurance benefits (but you have to pay for them) -Generally good at making accommodations for you

Cons

-Only care about placing people and don't care much about your needs -Will only put out your resume to one employer at a time so they won't look bad if you turn down the job -No paid time off -Very hard to contact recruiter -Lie about what jobs they have open (they post them on the internet so I know they're holding out on me"

Pros

-Great culture and team environment -Back office resources, administration, and support are top notch but underpaid -Commission is structured so you can work as hard as you want to earn more or give yourself a "raise" -360 Feedback and sharing of information is welcomed and accepted -A lot of personal and professional development via on the job training and empowerment of employees -Opportunity to be your own business owner -Accountability to keep you focused on your goals -A balanced market share with enough to be credible but still a lot of growth opportunities and potential -Unlimited resources and communication from all levels of the organization -Professional team members that know when to work hard, but also know when to relax and have some fun at the same time -Very numbers and goal oriented company. You know where you stand at all times

Cons

-Upward mobility or promotability stops after you hit a certain level -There is a huge lack of training once you are promoted to a certain level -There are a lot of people who have "seniority" who get away with things that are counter-cultural but it's overlooked because they've been with the company a long time -Some of management is solely focused on the highest producers which are not always the best example of professionals for our company, other management realizes that numbers are not everything -Stock in the company is not offered to high producers who are under 10 years in the company and not at the director level -Very few females at the director level and none in upper management -Sales management tool is outdated and no longer effective -No option to work from home limits your work/life balance

I work through AeroTek as a contractor for a larger company, so my interaction with AeroTek is limited.

Pros

AeroTek has treated me pretty fairly so far. I've worked for them for around six months now and have never had a problem with paychecks or benefits. Since I work through AeroTek for a larger company as a temp/contractor, the majority of my interaction with AeroTek has been administrative stuff, but it's always easy to get my managers on the phone or through email with questions or concerns.

Cons

AeroTek has not entirely matched the paid holiday schedule of the company I am contracted to, in other words, when the direct hire employees have a paid holiday (Thanksgiving and Black Friday), I just have to take the hit on my paycheck. AeroTek should be matching any paid holidays, but they have refused to do so in the past, despite the initial statement that certain holidays would be paid according to the client's schedule.
