Pros

culture and coworkers are amazing, felt supported by direct management, uncapped pay, if you are successful at hitting certain achievements they will fly you out Mexico with rest of the top performers

Cons

work life balance is hard, you need to commit a lot of time and energy to be successful and even then a lot of can be based on luck since you are relying on a manger to acquire quality positions for you to fulfill and a candidate to represent themselves well, can be draining, cold calling day in day out

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.
