I am a promotional model of African American descent I apply to GC Marketing constantly and never get booked for job even through I have worked for very established companies in the past. Most recently when I finally receiveda booking from GC they offered the job at $15 an hr while working we found out that there was another agency staffing the event and their staff was getting paid $25 an hour which is $10 more than we were.
I spoke to the manager Jenn who informed me that GC usually bills the client for $50 an hr per model but then pays us what they feel like we deserve. Also Heather Preston who is VP of booking is mean spirited and confrontational.
I spoke to her about concerns regarding a booking and she proceeded to tell me to F-off and if I wanted to work I would get off the phone so she can do more important things. I have worked with numerous marketing companies in the past and GC is the only one I can say has been the worst experience. My checks have been late and short.
With promotional modelling it is a very hard life since we have no union to protect us we put our trust in these companies and after we do a great job for them we would expect them to treat us with respect this is not the case for GC. I would not recommend this company to anyone! Stay clear if you want to get paid and do not want to be treated like a slave.
Gc sucks!!!
