Pros

Everyone is set on the same kind of "winning" mindset, which is the sales mindset of "go, go, go," It is very fun to be surrounded by like-minded individuals. It's the sales rush, which is not for everyone. Highs are highs, lows are low. Happy hours, celebrations, birthdays, etc., are all celebrated. If you like to work, stay to yourself, and aren't one for the company "politics" stay far away from this company! They love the kool aid here. Good place for YOUNG and I mean fresh out of college kids to work here, soak in all that they can, and then get out as soon as possible or you will be stuck in a cycle that most AMs are in, even recruiters. They cannot leave to go anywhere else with the skills obtained, because they are not "niched" within a singular field, and be making the same amount of money.

Cons

Most people in the recruiting chair are young, do not have kids or a family yet. That is because of the high demand, high stressful expectations of the position. The compensation for the work is terrible, there is zero privacy in the office set-up, "open" office, They will put people on the spot, They do not care how long you have given the company, if you are in that recruiter chair and are not a "high" performer you will be toast. You will be micromanaged down to the minute, literally, they can see it and they will. This position is soley metric based. High turnover rate. The people in leadership are a laughing stock, This is an Aerotek issue though, not just Charlotte.

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.
