Overall Feedback:

Do not work with these people - they are scam artists. They hire videographers but they do not pay them unless they are constantly reminded, and even then the check will be weeks late. I worked for them several times, and this was always the norm: 30 days after the footage and invoice were submitted, I e-mailed accounting manager Marsha Gaulke to follow-up about my late payment, who then would act dumb like she never received the invoice. Then I would have to follow-up with her at least three more times over the next 2-3 weeks before she finally mailed my check, never with an explanation or an apology. The most recent shoot from February 2019 was the worst yet. I had to follow-up with her fives times over a three week period. She told me twice that my check was being mailed out in the coming week, but it never was. At one point she stopped returning my e-mails altogether, leaving me wondering if I was ever going to get paid. Finally, COO Brian Russell e-mailed me back, said that my check was going out the next day (note that he had to do Marsha's job for her) and then he had the nerve to terminate my work relationship with them, all because I kept following up about my extremely late check. He was offended that I called Marsha unprofessional, which she absolutely was. I finally got my check eight weeks after I did the shoot, but only after LOTS of unnecessary persistence. I have already told all videographers in my area to hang up the phone if Brian or Frank call them, now I'm spreading the word around the country.
