Pros

- Awesome place to learn how to be a great recruiter - Focus on candidates and quality that you don't always find at other recruiting firms - Great training for both recruiters and account managers - Clear career path I feel that the training, sense of urgency, and candidate/client focus I learned at Aerotek helped me to be successful in my next recruiting role (at Google).

Cons

- They haven't kept up with the perks of surrounding companies. Why work a strict 7:30am-5:30pm when you can work at a tech company as a recruiter and pretty much make your own hours. - No food/transportation or other perks. Health benefits weren't great. - All senior leadership also started there as a college new grad so there's very little diversity of ideas or experience. This was a big reason I decided to leave. - At the time the company was definitely a boy's club with very few women in leadership (many times because there wasn't any flexibility in hours that women often need to consider a career in leadership)

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.
