    Aston Carter - Useless

    How have you guys found this lot?

    The first time I applied through them they spammed my CV out to half of London without discussing roles with me.

    Then a few weeks back, I applied for 2 roles there and ended up between 2 agents publically having a squabble with their manager about who was more senior and who would get to represent me.

    They then didn't turn up for a planned meeting and then wouldn't let me see my preferred agent, who had already lined up an interesting role for me, due to their single consultant policy.

    Useless! I'd rather go hungry than work through them.

        Had problems with them as well. Took 2 months to get final payment. Didn't bother even replying to emails.
