Pros

The pay when you get to salary.

Cons

No life balance, favoritism, bash you when you leave or get let go, triangle scheme. They will pretend to care about you to get as much information from you about other employees. Question you every day about your attitude and intentions. You earn paid time off but they don't allow you to use it unless your one their favorites. Working 50+ hours a week is never enough, even when you You will work through your lunch, weekends and holidays. When you get let go or quit they bash every past employee by saying, "They didn't want to work hard enough." Although you hit all your goals, were higher in spread than some Account Mangers and spent every lunch recruiting. If you don't participate in their after work hours happy hours and drink you get talked bad about and shamed for not being a culture fit. If your ever sick and have the PTO to use it you get shamed upon. No matter what you do it's not enough for them unless you are the frat type that loves to kiss up and drink. No life balance here and they do not appreciate their employees.

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.
