It's the equivalent of a commercial farm or packing house where you are the livestock. - Contract Software Engineer Aerotek Employee Review

Pros

Business processes are smooth, you'll get your checks on time. Fine place to get started for the younger worker.

Cons

Poor choice for the more senior, experienced technical workers. Insurance plans appear to be "lowest bid" (in some cases I'm sure the insurers are paying them (eg, the short-term disability insurance). They will sell your salary and employment information to anyone who will pay via talx. Read everything they want you to sign, make sure there isn't any kind of non-complete or exclusionary language that could apply to other future employers.

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.
