Aerotek Reviews

Pros

-Big. Company, lots of resources. -If you haven’t had a job before, this place will whip you into shape

Cons

-Every step you take, every move you make, they be watching you ;) -Other recruiting companies in Vancouver have a much more mature and professional culture. -The Kool aid tastes a lot like 70 hour work weeks and burnout

Pros

Great training program for recruiters, you learn a lot quickly.

Cons

Unhealthy micro-management, your every move is scrutinised. They say that they value quality over quantity, but they ask you quantity. If you don't fill your assigned openings, you will have to stay at work late every single night. If you dare say that the candidates you've spoken to were not interested in the role or you judged that it wasn't a right fit, your manager will sit down with you and go through your every note. Their mission is not to put the right candidates in the right opportunities, but rather to put bodies on chairs and increase their profit. AM's are also expected to make an insane amount of calls and they will sign every possible contract, even if they know that the assignment is almost impossible, which will ultimately make the recruiters' lives hell.

Pros

Fun environment, you can learn a lot and the team is overall cool!

Cons

They will overwork you, through lunch and sometimes 10 hour days.

Pros

Pay is good compared to other entry level positions. Job duties are clear. Nice office and friendly co-workers

Cons

Work schedule is a weekly cycle, very repetitive. Management shows little interest in your personal development. Blame is shifted often onto you when things go wrong, management never take responsibility. You are expected to be at your desk and are discouraged from talking and mingling almost always. It feels alienating even with co-workers around.

Pros

Occasional free food, nice co-workers

Cons

I wouldn't recommend working here to my worst enemy, also the worst recruiting agency. Unreasonable expectations and KPIs for employees, all employees are burnout and tired. Aerotek's logo "Our people are everything", couldn't be further than the truth. They DO not care about you or their employees. Stay FAR FAR away. They trick you into working your butt off for a lousy commission, base salary is very low.

Pros

Young people to hang out with after LONG days of cold calling Free food Good springboard to learn basic recruiting for 10 months before moving onto a new mature Corporate HR Environment position elsewhere University Degrees are really not necessary here

Cons

Very high turnover Very flat organization with no room for promotions Monetary Success was always threatened to be taken away Highschool Culture with lots of gossip and cliques

Pros

consistent hours if you enjoy a structured lifestyle good leadership really focused on your development personally and professionally good feedback environment

Cons

work is consistently the same day in day out unless you ask for additional projects etc commission is difficult to get to if you don't have the right mentor

Pros

Excellent services and respectful staff

Cons

There was nothing such I found
