Pros

- Develop solid recruiting skills with the right leadership. - Really enjoyed working with certain teammates through the highs and lows. - Corporate trainings can be fun and help raise the bar. - Travel and multiple growth pathways. - Decent base salary for a sales/commission role.

Cons

- Remote flexibility that had been promised after reaching a certain duration of employment was taken away with almost no notice. - Poor communication from leadership that would result in wasted time recruiting on positions that have already been filled. - Internal competition viewed by leadership to raise the tide collectively, but lead to back stabbing amongst peers and resentment. - When addressing issues or giving feedback, they would give you the homework to give feedback to your peers usually resulting in no change and continuation of poor teamwork. - Expected to hit KPI's even when taking PTO, which lead to poor mental health (this depends on your manager).

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.
