Pros

Aquent is honestly one of the nicest and most genuine recruitment agencies I believe you'll ever find. I was going to leave the recruitment sector but after finding Aquent where they actually give the option to either be purely candidate or purely client focused OR even 360 dealing with both sides if you want to, they really do accomodate everyone's strengths. I come into work early and not because I want to make money but because I love the people I work with and just love my job here. The people are amazing, there is not one person in the office I don't like - everyone is actually collaborative rather than holding onto candidates or stepping on one another to get ahead. It's a lovely team vibe and I have a lot of best friends here now! I can't recommend enough.

Cons

They do have a lot of very quick and dramatic re-structures, not all of which make much sense. Having said that, my job has been changed a few times here and the parts of it that I really didn't like, they did try to accomodate and make further changes so that I was happy with my role again. Also I know it's been said a lot but the commission and salaries are indeed below the market rate - but that is the only downside.
