Pros
I enjoyed my coworkers and the positive energy the team brought every day. I got to meet so many amazing people through our casting calls.
Cons
I wanted to make an honest impact in the industry. I knew a few months in that if I stayed with the company, that wouldn’t be an effective route. Social media marketers lured people in with assumptions that they’d be auditioning for a specific show or film, when really they were showing up for a speech from the director on why they should invest in a $500 talent package. I realized overtime that the packages we were selling had an abundance of flaws and I no longer believed in the product myself. The system was not setup to really foster these talent but to generate sales and focus on the next round of incoming prospects. They hosted workshops and photo shoots to help with headshots and skill development. However, the overall return on investment was painfully low.
