Aerotek reviews

There are pros to working at Aerotek....once you get into sales that is. Once you are there you get 38K/year or 34K/year if promoted in your first year and you get a $350/month car allowance (must be a 4 door) and a $100/month cell phone allowance. You get to expense gas used in trips to see clients or scout your territory as well as lunches. You will have 2 recruiters who are a part of your triangle that you will meet with every morning to discuss goals for the day as it pertains to the positions you have brought in for them to work on. If you sell well and fill positions you can make 6 figures and get stock incentives but it's easier said than done as no one in my office hit the stock incentives for the year I was there. Weekly pay checks are nice as well and make it easy to budget. Cons might scare you off but it's the honest truth. If you have a ridiculous work ethic and are willing to slave away for a couple years you can have a successful career at Aerotek making great money.

This review of Aerotek is solely based as a former internal employee. The company is big on hiring new grads, if you have a bachelor’s degree and want experience in Recruitment/Sales/Entry-level Human Resources then Aerotek is the place for you. The advertised 50+k a year salary is only after you achieve the sales threshold, which they say will take 4-6 months; however, it takes much longer (~6 months-1.5 years). During that time, you are hourly at $12.25/hr. which is barely enough to support yourself. If you can last that 4-6 months at $12.25/hr. once you achieve 50K, it’s still lower than market value of a full-cycle Recruiter. Aside from pay, the workload is high-volume right from the beginning, expect to produce enough results to work a 7:30AM-5:30PM, non-negotiable schedule– which causes a lot of employees to leave the company. As well, the company is a staffing agency so their business is contingent on filling business for other companies which can be unfulfilling to present people with as low as 2 month contracts in a sea of other agencies. As mentioned above, this is a place that enables you to put in your time to achieve that ‘HR/Sales/Administrative/Recruiting’ experience to move onto something else. There’s money in this company but it’s only available to the people who has the means, endurance, and ability to go through the gutter: low-pay training period until sales threshold, then contest – which is a 10K bonus and a trip to Cancun every year. Please do not expect promotions in this company, as mentioned the rich in the company have clawed their way to the top and do not intend to be replaced. Aerotek’s values are not represented by their core values, which are listed on the walls but by the common bond that everyone is there to make something of themselves to whatever that may be.
