Terrible company to work for! - Account Manager (Representative) GradImages Employee Review

The job requires communication, activeness, and high pace. You get to have your own schedule and availability.

On the job, your feet will hurt standing most of the day and things will break or won't go as exactly planned. You have to adaptable.

All the photographers I've meet were super wonderful to work with. They were funny and nice. They do pay for hotel for overnight stays. They will sometimes pay for your milage, othertimes they'll say "send receipts."

You're a W2 employee and need to be compensated for it. They try to make you believe you're a 1099. When you start asking for more clarification on missing hours, they start to ghost you and lock you out of seeing your paystubs- which expecting you to show up to events. Old employees still believe they're 1099 and were not given new paperwork to fill out when the company switched to W2. During the hiring process they say they pay a "100$ event fee (for four hours) then $25 per hour after." They refuse to pay for hours when the graduation runs over because they'll double book your events- so your wait time for your next graduation starts at the time your current graduation ends incase it goes over. They wont pay for other W2 hours: driving time, waiting time, talking to management, charging gear, prepping for events, money for gas. When you add all those hours into your pay- you're being paid less than minimum wage. Constantly, photographers showed up an hour and a half late and still got compensated the same as me. They've cold fired me, won't acknowledge I've been terminated, and ghosted me.
