Pros
I was able to transition from working through Aquent in Minneapolis to working for Aquent in Seattle. It was such a huge relief to have an opportunity like that to switch home states and know I could find contract work and have a professional contact in both markets. I really liked all of the staff I came in contact with--they were friendly, helpful and encouraging.
Cons
The only thing that wasn't smooth was in-house training. I went in to take some technical courses with them several years ago and the software/systems weren't working. They didn't seem to have anyone in-house who could troubleshoot it and there was no follow-up with when I could back in to finish the training. I found work anyway though. The Web intake form for new talent is hard to use, which seems weird for a creative and development firm.
