Model at Elite Model MGMT - Miami (Men's Division)

Business outlook

Pros

- A nice and overall helpful agent overlooking the men's department - Work (though there isn't much for most people) is highly, highly paid - Work on your own time; If you can make it to castings, good; if not, no one with reprimand you for it

Cons

- Not much financial transparency (I was never sure when my check was going to arrive, or how much would be taken out) - As someone starting off, I found it really difficult to get into the modeling scene (not much help other than sending you to castings) - Low level of castings (of course, this is dependent on the market itself); castings are pretty much impossible to get, especially for younger clients with smaller books

Business outlook

Pros

They treat you like a person, not an employee. That's reflected in the benefits and how management approaches employees, no yelling and screaming about challenges, just collaboration and ideas. The office environment is very fun, and expansive (can only speak for Seattle). It is a very challenging company due to the pace and ingenuity around every corner, which is awesome. If you apply yourself, you'll go somewhere. Yes, office politics exist, but generally, it's a meritocracy.

Cons

It's hard to write cons because I genuinely enjoy the company. But first off, if you're a recovering alcoholic, STAY AWAY, or have your sponsor on speed dial. Unsecured booze is in every corner of EVERY floor, stashed in closets, in every fridge with teams taking jello shots in public kitchens. It's very hard to deal with in sobriety. Almost every event has booze, morale events are at bars, gifts are generally booze etc. Be firm in your sobriety or do not work here
