Pros

-50K base salary -uncapped commission -Team environment

Cons

-Bad work life balance.. Working 7:30am-6pm.. Saturdays if needed and taking my laptop home to write a report on Sundays. -Too many meetings wasting your time that should have been an email -Management over-analyzing every single thing.... all the time -Very high expectations. You cannot just come to work and meet all your numbers for the week. You have a list of other things that you need to do and put in a report. For example.. They want you give feedback to your coworkers daily, pointing out when they mess up and how you confronted them and then write about it and discuss it in a Monday meeting. -Sitting at a desk on the phone all day.

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.
