Pros

Working with younger people and being able to watch their drama can be pretty entertaining. I mean, it’s like getting to watch a live version of Paradise Island or something.

Cons

If you are older than 25, don’t even bother. If you have a family, don’t bother. If you want to go home to your family and not out for taco Tuesday or thirsty Thursday, you will be looked down on. You will be treated differently. Heaven forbid if you are serving in the military and have to go for training. You will be looked down on, treated poorly, and be berated for letting down your “team” that had to work “so much harder” in your absence. The last point, quite frankly, is the worst. Never, in my 25 years of working, have I been treated so poorly because of my military service.

Amazing place to work

Pros

Great family oriented culture. They have an uncanny ability at being able tie together personal and monetary goals in perfect harmony. Like yeah the point is to get placements, earn commission, but it doesn’t really feel like work, it feels like you are just making a difference in people’s lives by helping them get jobs which we are—and so at Aerotek it’s like never forget that. You just happen to get money when you do it.

Cons

We have a feedback culture where people are asked to deliver feedback. But honestly it doesn’t work if people aren’t open to it or willing to change. It feels like a slick way to make employees feel like they have a voice but really it’s just to get us to heed what leadership is saying when they deliver feedback. It’s some slick psychological manipulation (I say that in jest). Otherwise no complaints, people are kind, it’s a professional diverse environment, where you can create your reality and make as much as you want. The best part is they give you a great base pay for security. I love my manager, director, and peers.

Toxic Workplace

Pros

Potential to earn a lot of money if you are willing to sacrifice your values and your life outside of work. Encouraged to be best friends with your coworkers, which could also be a con. Generous vacation time but don't you dare use it. You can gain a lot of good skills here (organization, time management, cold-calling, people skills) and it also helps you learn exactly what you don't want in a workplace.

Cons

You will work 24/7 but still will be told you aren't working hard enough. They will tell you hours are from 8-6 (seems reasonable) but if you aren't in the office by 7 and don't stay past 6pm, you are lectured. You have to take your computer home and continue to work. My manager once told me I need to be cold calling and taking notes on those calls while I drive into the office to optimize even more time, because who cares about safety? My commute was less than 15 minutes. Unless you are having lunch with a contractor, client, or a manager to help with your "advancement", don't you dare take a lunch break. You're most likely to have a manager that will care more about how much they can make than actually being a leader or doing the right thing. The offices have twice daily stand up meetings that are meant to be for updates on open positions, but most often will be spent nitpicking people and shaming them in front of the whole team. Account Managers can do no wrong and Recruiters can do no right. People get promoted into sales based on performance as a recruiter, but often have no people management skills need for the management that come with that promotion. Sadly, they will reel you in by flashing the dollar signs and saying how great the culture is, but you will be let down when you are being cursed out and working like a horse, seeing little return on your time.
