Pros

Aerotek always has entry level positions open for new college graduates. The company does provide some modicum of training to new employees.

Cons

I have been employed with Aerotek for many years now and was hired directly after college. Aerotek usually employs workers immediately after they graduate because they do not fully understand the business world or how a staffing agency should be properly operated. This seems to benefit Aerotek as they can mold you, usually for the worst, to the company's needs. You have to deal with many unhappy, and rightly so, contract employees and this tends to take up a lot of your time. I know most recruiters will ignore contract employee phone calls to avoid hearing their complaints, but this is not appropriate in my opinion. The company needs to correctly tell contract workers their pay rate and terms of employment. Their is little positive contact with management inside the office level and absolutely none outside the office level. I have never heard any responses to my inquiries to management. There is no communication! The more I understand business ethics the more I realize Aerotek should be more respectful to Aerotek and contract employees. The company should set standards of accountability which are wholly lacking.

Pros

If you have been having trouble finding a job, getting a temp position as a contractor for Aerotek may be a quick (although not neccessarily the best) way to get your foot in the door at a company and start making a reasonable (though not stellar) salary. Although you will probably make less per hour than a regular employee, the pay is better than most temp jobs or other types of low-level jobs you might take while searching for a permanent career-oriented position.

Cons

Benefits are almost non-existent. As a contractor for Aerotek, you can't take any vacatio for the first year. After that, you get 5 days of Paid-Time-Off per year, which you earn as you go. If the company you contract for is closed but Aerotek's home office is open? Then it uses up one of your PTO days. Is your kid sick? PTO day. Forget about going anywhere on vacation. If you are out of PTO days and you miss a day, you don't get paid. Simple as that. There is no match on the 401K and the health plans offer ridiculously poor coverage. Also, high turnover at the Aerotek branch locations leads to poorly trained staff- these are the people who are responsible for getting you raises, tracking your PTO time, getting you new temp positions when the current one ends, etc. You can see how this presents a problem.

Pros

The systems that they have in place, regarding their technology, seem useful. There are a lot of cool people who come and go, but none that stay.

Cons

Look bottom line, this place depends on fresh meat. Nobody wants to stay in an environment working 60-70 hours a week with people breathing down the back of you neck every single minute. The longer you stay the more you will realize that even the sales people who are making money are totally miserable, yet they hardly have the backbone to leave. Truth of the matter is that managment has no clue, and the only reason they're in the managerial roles that they're in is because they're total souless sell outs. To the unknwoing eye it seems like a great energetic place to work, and the company genuine philanthropic concerns for the community. Don't let it fool you! Ask anybody who has worked there, Tek-town is the worst. Additionally, everybody who has made it out mocks their experience at Aerotek, because the company is a joke. It's a shame that they depend on college kids to do the dirty work, because they don't know any better or have anywhere else to go. If you do decide to work there, tell big brother I said hi.
