Type of a scam Employment
Never paid, Worst company I have ever had an experience with. This company showed me how sad it is for the working Actor! Sad I was the only one not paid and I was one of the employees that didn’t complain and waited through the process. The treatment by the payroll of this company is horrible. I was threatened by employees and toyed with by staff who is in charge? Let’s chat! The company tries to throw legal jargon about their Contract BUT This fake company don’t read their own contracts themselves. The company stated that Payments are to be processed to Talent within 10-14 business day with a prolong of 30days. 66 days went by and I was not paid, Which makes a "BREACH OF CONTRACT" by the Company itself. It won’t kill you to do your job and pay the actors that actual go to bat for you. So This company is FRAUDULENT, BREAKS CONTRACTS and FIND EXCUSES TO AVOID PAYING THEIR ACTORS!
"Characters for Hire" also threaten Actors with Black Balling/Do not hire call list AFTER These Scammers Do the damage to the relationship by not meeting the contractual obligations!
May God Bless them!!
DO NOT WORK WITH THIS COMPANY! & DO NOT HIRE FROM HERE!
