Pros

You get to see the result of your hard work. There is nothing better than seeing a person get a position they really wanted and having them thank you for it.

Cons

Extremely long work hours for little pay compared to the market. Commission structure is a joke you will not make alot of money there even when you have a high commission when you look at how many hours 50-60 hrs you worked. Relationship building is going to lunches/breakfasts with strangers, who may be looking for work. People who are obsessed with Aerotek act like they are in a cult and have no real work life balance whatsoever! Every single person follows the same exact schedule which gives you no room to be creative, they want everybody to be a clone. Turnover is the worst with people leaving left and right.

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.
