Pros

Aerotek always has entry level positions open for new college graduates. The company does provide some modicum of training to new employees.

Cons

I have been employed with Aerotek for many years now and was hired directly after college. Aerotek usually employs workers immediately after they graduate because they do not fully understand the business world or how a staffing agency should be properly operated. This seems to benefit Aerotek as they can mold you, usually for the worst, to the company's needs. You have to deal with many unhappy, and rightly so, contract employees and this tends to take up a lot of your time. I know most recruiters will ignore contract employee phone calls to avoid hearing their complaints, but this is not appropriate in my opinion. The company needs to correctly tell contract workers their pay rate and terms of employment. Their is little positive contact with management inside the office level and absolutely none outside the office level. I have never heard any responses to my inquiries to management. There is no communication! The more I understand business ethics the more I realize Aerotek should be more respectful to Aerotek and contract employees. The company should set standards of accountability which are wholly lacking.

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.
