      Pros

      - People are nice and friendly - Music plays in the office - Do a good job of "selling the job" otherwise no one would take it

      Cons

      - No one tells you how stressful it will get, the numbers and hitting targets is crazy - Small outdated offices, old technology - Managers only care about how the recruiter makes them look good - All motivational talk is about not leaving the company - Implicitly make you believe there is no better place than here, trust me there is - Favouritism in management - Getting nightmares about work is considered a... norm - They do not deliver what they promise during the interview, sugarcoat - No work-life balance, try to leave ASAP - Expectation is to stay late every single night when you get paid nothing

      I worked at Aerotek full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      The people you work with in your office will generally be the best part of the job. Despite being compared to each other constantly, I still found a great camaraderie among my peers and felt that we all genuinely wanted to help each other and see each other succeed. The training is very good especially for the people who are fresh out of college and haven't been introduced to the professional world yet. It is a good... place to gain experience and build your resume .

      Show More

      Cons

      As I mentioned, recruiters are constantly compared to each other and you feel like you are always walking around with a number above your head. Upper management is extremely micromanaging and you feel you are forced to do things that aren't even beneficial to your actual goals, but you do them just to keep people off of your back. They try and preach "do what works best for you" but they definitely don't practice it.... I can talk about the work-life balance and the hours, however in my case they were very transparent about that during the interview process. If you are extremely money motivated and don't care about having a personal life or a family, this could be a great place for you, but if you want those things I would think twice.

      Advice to Management

      Truthfully I don't have much advice for upper management because Aerotek will never change the way that they do things no matter how many good people they lose. I guess my advice to Account Managers would be to treat your recruiters like adults and don't bully them into doing certain things because you are being hounded to do so, stick up for your recruiters when necessary.

      Cons

      Work/life balance Too much involvement in task other than recruiting

      Advice to Management

      It would be a lot more efficient to have a person for administratory tasks designated to an office. A lot of people are overwhelmed and working long hours because they do everything to do with their candidates. They could be spending that time recruiting instead. There is always a way to cheat the system and some use it for their “friendly competition”. That creates tension amongst peers. You can get promoted... very fast! It’s a wonderful opportunity however when that happens you also have to manage people. Some are great at the job but don’t know how to manage or should not manage.
