Pros

Aerotek is the leader in the staffing industry, while most staffing companies in a down econmy are frightful of business development and lay off's, Aerotek is consistantly still hiring new recruiters everyday and still getting new business. Aerotek's salaries are higher than other staffing firms and there is no time period that is needed once you put someone to work, you will be paid the following week as apposed to most firms that will make you wait weeks if not months to be paid on the work that you have done. The beliefs of the CEO's and VP's is that we will work harder and outperform any other company and that even in a down economy you will need the man- power to fulfill the needs of the clients that will be hiring throughout the recession, such as collection agencies and appraisers.

Cons

The only downside to working at Aerotek is the long hours. You will work at least ten hours a day. This is only a downside for certain people. I enjoy working the long hours and thats part of what puts Aerotek in the lead of the staffing industry.

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.
