Pros

The systems that they have in place, regarding their technology, seem useful. There are a lot of cool people who come and go, but none that stay.

Cons

Look bottom line, this place depends on fresh meat. Nobody wants to stay in an environment working 60-70 hours a week with people breathing down the back of you neck every single minute. The longer you stay the more you will realize that even the sales people who are making money are totally miserable, yet they hardly have the backbone to leave. Truth of the matter is that managment has no clue, and the only reason they're in the managerial roles that they're in is because they're total souless sell outs. To the unknwoing eye it seems like a great energetic place to work, and the company genuine philanthropic concerns for the community. Don't let it fool you! Ask anybody who has worked there, Tek-town is the worst. Additionally, everybody who has made it out mocks their experience at Aerotek, because the company is a joke. It's a shame that they depend on college kids to do the dirty work, because they don't know any better or have anywhere else to go. If you do decide to work there, tell big brother I said hi.

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.
