      Pros

      Fun environment, work hard/play hard mentality with a good amount of company sponsored outings, a lot of fresh out of college employees makes for a lively and energetic workplace. If you're willing to commit 110% it is possible to reach the goals and salaries they advertise during an interview. Very fast paced so you're rarely bored.

      Cons

      Terrible hours that proves no work life balance. Typical houses are 7am-6/6:30pm and you work through lunches by taking out potential candidates (bonus: lots of paid lunches where you choose!) high pressure environment where you can expect to be "care fronted" which is pretty much an excuse to talk down to people while hiding behind the facade of helping them. Salary is miserable at 33k starting and commission comes slowly. They only offer an HSA which, if you're single, is a pricy insurance option. Being managed by someone who has no management experience and is fresh out of college (2ish years) can make for an awkward and stressful employee/manager relationship.

      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.
