Honestly best agency I've ever worked with! They really take the time to find jobs that suit your skills and abilities, I think the best part is that they actually don't forget you exist. Once you finish with one assignment they are in as much as a hurry as you are to get you another one. They also regularly check up with you personally to make sure everything is going well and to just see if you have any questions. It' easy to get a hold of them to by the way. you can call them and shot them an email and you will get a response fairly soon after if they miss you. Best part is that they actually pay on time!
Overall it's an amazing Agency to have! :)
I appreciated Aquent's hands-on approach to landing me a contract position, as well as their centrally located Los Angeles office and the professional conduct of everyone I've been in contact with there.
Aquent/Vitamin T cover a wide array of job possibilities from a myriad of companies, yet my representative Debra has taken the time to check in with me, both while I was trying to land a contract position and during the gig.
I seriously don't understand why these other people are giving low stars. First off your employment status and your performance is your responsibility. I update and review my portfolio and my resume materials every month because I am determined to reach every goal I set for myself.
Aquent is a agency that can offer you great opportunities to some of the best companies around. In my experience I made sure I asked the questions that were important to me and kept communication open with my amazing agent Brie! Not only is she stunning to look at (no lie) she is so sweet and always on top of things. I never felt left in the dark about anything and she always would send me an email or call me just to make sure I was still liking the position. I absolutely appreciate that part, it means a lot that she takes a genuine interest in her talent. Finding the right job is not an easy task, I found it helpful to be completely transparent with Brie about what I was looking for and that communication was essential to my happiness with my job.
Aquent offers benefits as well which is amaaaazing and they truly are not bad. They are through Cigna which is not my fave because you have to be on them about covering things but its so much better to have something than nothing. Aquent always paid on time and submitting time cards has been easy to do. The only down side is if you take time off you don't get paid so in that way its very freelance/contract like so I think for anyone use to contract work your going to love it because you benefits and flexibility. Oh and I have to give a shout out to Samantha the account manager because she helped out with the process so much as well.
Best advice I can give is, be transparent with your agent about your skills and what you expect , from pay to hours to responsibilities. This will help them understand if they can place you or not. Also don't be delusional, do your research and compare your work to others, are you even worth what your asking? Be a freaking awesome candidate and a hard worker, these agents are vouching for you when they pitch you to employers, so be as awesome as you say you are and you won't have issues. When your agent tells you hey Disney wants you, you were the top pick it will feel like the hard work paid off. I would gladly work with Aquent again and again especially with Brie Tomaszewki, she has made this experience life changing (cliche but true).
