APPLICANTS BEWARE, POTENTIAL SCAM: $450 Startup Fee and no work for at least two months.

I hope my review helps you feel better prepared before investing in this organization; an opportunity I was not given.

I signed up with The Young Agency on July 17th. Bernadette was eager to get me started and told me the faster I pay the $450 website fee the faster I can get work. She told me I would get 3-4 castings a day (potential jobs).

Several days went by and I received nothing. I emailed Bernadette and Castings for help. I was told most of my photos were unacceptable, and that I need a head shot. I called my photographer spur of the moment so we could get this moving forward quickly.

After two weeks I still received nothing. I sent a respectful email asking for attention to my account and why I was not getting any castings. I was told the team would review my email and get back to me in 4 days.

I never received a response. All of my communication has been patient, respectful, and professional.

After a few days I started receiving castings. I received 1, maybe 2 castings a day, and sometimes days without any.

I applied to every casting I qualified for. In total, I have applied to 24 castings in 2 months. I have not had a single job or made a single dollar with The Young Agency.

***Added based on owner reply***

I was made to believe the work was plentiful (3-4 castings a day) and that if I hurry and pay the fee I would get work sooner. Had I been told the truth, that castings were limited because of the pandemic and that it may take more than 2 months to get my first job, I may not have signed up.
