Pros
Aquent has a foot in the door at many companies and there exists opportunities to be hired full time sometimes by Aquent's clients. Aquent's benefits are also very good. It provides health, dental, vision, life insurance, 401K and a college tuition savings plan. It is a good company to work for while the economy and employers are sorting themselves out. The only disadvantage for an Aquent talent is that the talent can be thrust into a full time position requiring him/her all responsibilities of a project - budget, planning etc. but not the staffing or political power within a company to complete an assignment.
Cons
The assignments can be short term e.g.one month to two months. It can be frustrating when one is looking for full time work and one gets only short term assignments. Aquent talents do full time position work, including working overtime but Aquent clients have an underlying theme of terming out assignments if an Aquent talent has to work overtime to complete project/position work. Also a talent can be a scape goat if a company is management/divisional disfunctional.
