Pros
There are pros to working at Aerotek....once you get into sales that is. Once you are there you get 38K/year or 34K/year if promoted in your first year and you get a $350/month car allowance (must be a 4 door) and a $100/month cell phone allowance. You get to expense gas used in trips to see clients or scout your territory as well as lunches. You will have 2 recruiters who are a part of your triangle that you will meet with every morning to discuss goals for the day as it pertains to the positions you have brought in for them to work on. If you sell well and fill positions you can make 6 figures and get stock incentives but it's easier said than done as no one in my office hit the stock incentives for the year I was there. Weekly pay checks are nice as well and make it easy to budget. Cons might scare you off but it's the honest truth. If you have a ridiculous work ethic and are willing to slave away for a couple years you can have a successful career at Aerotek making great money.
Cons
Well first off after your 3 month training period you will get a pay decrease to 33K/year which after taxes comes to about $440/week which comes out to about $88/day which if you don't know is awful...you can make that much or more working at Home Depot or Walmart. Next, management will be up your backside every day to do more and to help the sales people do their job. You have to call on people and dig for information and leads while they are at work (the majority of them). Oh and did I mention you will work from 7:30 - 6 every day if not later depending on the workload for that day. You break that down and you are making a little over $8/hour. They will try and sell you on their commission structure but let me break this down to you, they don't pay you a dime for your first $3k/week in spread....that's 150/k plus a year that they get that you see non of! Also, the commission is awful till you hit astronomical spread. When you get to 10k/week in spread you get $290 a week before tax added to your paycheck....that is over half a million to the company and you get 290/week pre tax...that is awful. Oh also the benefits are terrible and 401k match is next to nothing. My advice is proceed with caution.
