Pros

I bonded with the others who were miserable.

Cons

Everything else. This company is great at creating insecurity and fear. If you want collaboration, teamwork, and trust in a job, please avoid. There’s nothing motivating about having to stand at the front of the office and get grilled with questions from every employee on why you didn’t hit your goal, even though you worked 80 hours that week and came in on a Saturday. Oh but don’t worry - they treated us to pizzas! The Madison DBO is only interested in leading through fear tactics, constant threat, and manipulation. On the other hand, if you love receiving threatening/defaming emails, this job is for you. There are favorites and it is made evident. Leadership will do anything for those favorites, and run over anyone else in their path to do so. Leaving this place felt like leaving a cult, it is completely toxic. I wanted to make this review to save others from going through the absolute trauma that I went through.

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.
