Pros

Hard to say, so many of the great things at Aquent are changing. It used to be very different from other sales organizations, it wasn't cutthroat and super stressful. The work-life balance is awesome, and the opportunity to use the company's beach houses in Florida and Hawaii is great if you can get it.

Cons

I left because I was disappointed by the changes and decisions being made by management. I can't speak for the whole company, but my team in particular was going through a lot of changes, and I continue to hear things are getting worse. One must look at these changes and wonder if the company is in financial distress. Or perhaps they are getting ready to sell? It's simply not the same, people are dropping like flies and most my friends still there are all looking. It almost seems like they knew this would happen and are ok with it. It's a total turnover for cheaper people. Clients should beware, new people interviewing need to dig deep and ask tough questions about what's going on. Not a place I would recommend to anyone at this point. You can be stressed elsewhere and make much better money.

Pros

Some nice intelligent educated coworkers

Cons

Lack of transperancy, job placement wages stagnant for over 5 years with no raise, after finishing multiple contracts and bringing them thousands of dollars with my labor, no follow up on new positions. Finally contacted me about one position I would be perfect for then ghosted me. Blatant ageism using words like "junior" or "great position for recent grad". Had one horrific experience with them where they reached out to me to work on a team that loved me/loved my work - when I inquired if there was any flexibility in the pay, was suddenly told I wasn't qualified. Then I see the same listing reposted as "junior" and great for a recent grad.
