I ALSO WORKED A 3 DAY GIG FOR PROMOSYNTHESIS IN OCTOBER FOR A MAJOR CLIENT. I HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS COMPANY! THEY BOOKED ME FOR AN EVENT AND RIGHT BEFORE THE CHECKS WERE ISSUED (2 MONTHS LATER OF COURSE) - THEY SENT ME THE PAPERWORK TO COMPLETE (UNPROFESSIONAL, YOU SEND THE PAPERWORK BEFORE THE EVENT OR ELSE THE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR THINKS YOU WILL NEED TO DO IT AT THE END OF THE YEAR BEFORE TAXES) I SENT MY PAPERWORK AND WAITED 2 WEEKS (AFTER ALL THE OTHER EMPLOYEES HAD BEEN PAID BY NOW) TO GET A RESPONSE THAT THEIR MAIL HAD BEEN STOLEN. KENDALL HANDLED THE PAPERWORK PROCESS AND SHE WAS VERY RUDE, UNORGANIZED AND UNPROFESSIONAL STATING THAT THEY WERE GOING TO WAIT 2 WEEKS BEFORE ISSUING CHECKS OUT TO THE EMPLOYEES TO SEE IF THEY WERE BEING PROCESSED IN THE MAIL OR IF THEY WERE ACTUALLY STOLEN BECAUSE IT COST THEM 35$ A CHECK TO RE ISSUE. THIS WAS NOT MY PROBLEM AN D FRANKLY I DON'T CARE IF IT COSTS YOU 500$! I DID MY SHARE OF THE WORK AND BY LAW YOU HAVE A CERTAIN WINDOW FRAME TO PAY ME AND WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR COMPANY SHOULD NOT HANDICAP ME AS AN INDIVIDUAL! IN A NUTSHELL I RECEIVED MY PAYMENT 4 EFFING MONTHS AFTER THE EVENT - THE ONLY REASON I TOOK THE EVENT WAS FOR EXTRA SPENDING MONEY FOR X MAS FOR MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND BECAUSE IT FIT INTO MY TAX BRACKETT FOR 2010. I RECEIVED THE CHECK IN MID FEB AND NOW I AM STUCK HAVING TO ISSUE THIS STUPID EVENT FOR MY TAXES THIS YEAR WHICH OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT PLANNED! VERY INCONVENIENT, IF I HAD KNOWN THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN I WOULD HAVE NEVER WORKED THIS EVENT! I AM SO SICK OF THESE COMPANIES TREATING INDIVIDUALS LIKE THEY ARE EXPANDABLE ESPECIALLY FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THEY CHARGE THEIR CLIENTS FOR "QUALIFIED BRAND AMBASSADORS" AND PAYING US A VERY SMALL FRACTION FOR WORK THAT IS DEMEANING AND A WASTE OF TIME.
