Pros

Teaches great work ethic and looks very good on a resume for future positions. Fundlementals of recruiting can be taken with you anywhere you go, and you will meet some people you will talk to for the rest of your life.

Cons

Upper management plays favorites, and it always seemed to be a recruiters fault when office spread was low. Office politics and extreme micromanagement can make you not want to go to work anymore, which is the case for many people. When things are going well, they are going very well. When they are going bad, its very bad... There doesn't ever seem to be an in-between.

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.
