Pros

Aerotek is really great about taking care of their employees. There are a lot of free meals and outings as rewards. The local management team knows that employees work hard and they reward them accordingly. Also, they offer a lot of vacation days from day 1 of employment.

Cons

You are expected to work long hours, and basically be "on call" at all times to work or handle issues/questions. I was working in a sales-support role as a Customer Support Associate (CSA) which is basically an HR Assistant but they do not pay as much. In that role you are expected to work any time they need you to and do "whatever it takes" to keep the money flowing for the sales people. While they do offer around 15-20 days of paid vacation, no one ever has time to use them.

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.
