Great for people straight out of college but not for people who've had '"real jobs" anywhere else. - Anonymous employee Aerotek Employee Review

Pros

Opportunity is there to make money if you don't mind staying quite late most nights. Nice people to work with.

Cons

Base pay is awful. No work/life balance whatsoever if you plan on being one of the top performers. Most people on my team who performed well were staying till 10-11pm a couple of nights per week. The place will really burn you out if you're not careful.

Pros

Great people, great training, great entry level opportunity to get into recruiting and sales. If you are successful you will make more here than about anywhere else. Performing Recruiters are making $55k-$75k. Great Recruiters are making $100k+. Every large office has salespeople making $200k-$400k. Culture is 100% committed and generally cool type-A's you would want to have a beer with. The skills, drive, and sense of urgency you learn at Aerotek serve you well anywhere you may go later.

Cons

If you are just looking for a low-commitment 8-5 job while posting on social media about where you are partying that night...you will not like Aerotek. Success requires an all in approach both in work ethic and active support of the culture. That is not for everyone. There are Political Science grads 3 years out of college making $200k+, but there is a price to be paid. All the tough work comes first. If you are not up for the level of work and commitment, Aerotek is not for you. If you are, none of this is really a "con" As far a real cons go, the benefits are only OK, and finding work/life balance is pretty difficult.
