Boss Management Review

An amazing team who work very hard and look out for their clients. As a student they have been more than accommodating and a huge help in entering this world.

Boss is a great agency! Addy has gotten me lots of bookings when I'm available and he is always on top of things and prompt with communications!

I've been with Boss for over a year now and have found them to be wonderful. The most important part of a great agency for me is communication and the great staff at Boss have always been available. At 7am helping this lost woman find my set or late at night getting the call times out, they have never let me down.

If you are trying to get your child an agent this is not the place to go. My daughter who has been looked at by many commercials, people, agents have all told me to get her an agent she would do so well. Well we decided to do so and was even told by Liz she wanted her, but never heard nothing from her or got anything. Was even told our email got lost in spam why never got back to us. Waste of time they do nothing to help. Waste of money and time.

Great experience working for Boss. Started in the summer of grade 9 and Boss really helped me get started in the film industry. Addy and Sonya and the rest of the team are super friendly and will answer your calls and they work very hard for the people they represent.

Boss Management is a well-established premier talent agency that has priceless connections within the industry. Because of this they have consistently provided me and other actors with extensive work on a variety of top and well known TV and film projects. Sonya, Tracie, Kim, Addy and Shalini are experienced professionals who care about their clients and are always available for me when I need to communicate with them. Any questions I have get answered promptly with the best insider industry tips. The Boss Team goes out of its way to get its actors working.

I have been apart of this phenomenal organization for only 2 years now. Only by chance. Owing to my unique physical stature was I introduced to Boss Management through a friend. Turns out my agent as she came to be, was a classmate of my friend and I. They work with me to keep me in the loop. They are always ready to suggest helpful insight. I have had an incredible time working in the industry. Even comfortable enough to have directed a friend and an acquaintance's (young daughter) to Boss Management. Both have said their 1st contact and experience was encouraging, positive and honest. Other actors and models, both with agencies and free lance have confided they hear good things of Boss Management. If you want a more then reasonable opportunity in the talent industry? Don't take a chance else where eh Contact them. I am not regretting my choice.

Great agency, Sonya does a lot of hard work to get you gigs.

Great agents. I've worked background with boss for 2 years and they are very organized, professional, and personable. They have gotten me lots of great work on many different tv shows and movies. Highly recommend.

It's been nice working with BOSS. Nice people and all. Always ready to help

Professional BG representation that is accountable to those it represents.

Extra division has been Great! They are kind, professional and always seem to be available.

Boss management is an excellent company to work for. They always have provided great gigs for background performers on an extensive selection of well known shows. The team is very nice and fun and work hard for your benefit to make your dreams come a little closer to becoming true.

Hi,
I must say thank you a million to Boss Management for choosing me to be apart of this organization and I really love and enjoy the jobs that am selected to do and looking forward to greater progress. Love Boss Management.

Wonderful staff and great communication .

Boss is the best! Always professional, courteous and understanding. I wouldn't work for anyone else.

Working with them has been an absolute pleasure. They are professional and very knowledgeable about the business, which is one of the most important factors here. 100% recommended.

Dont expect to be paid from this company I have done 5 bookings with them back in November and have yet to be paid by them

I am a long time boss talent - almost a decade! I have had exceptional representation in every division - from entreating roles to training with the best in the business which helps me to be outstanding. Continue with the excellence in representing your talent BOSS!

Stay away!

Their sheer level of incompetence is staggering. You are treated like a number not a person THEY work for. Remember, they are to represent you and work for you, as you pay them a cut of your wages. But that is not how Boss works. The snotty, curt, brash and totally uncalled for telephone and text mannered (if you ever get an answer at all) people that work there will ruin your career.
Within a year these are some examples of what they people at Boss has done:
- By law, you have to get paid two weeks after you work but Boss doesn t issue your pay 3-5 weeks later, saying production hasn t paid. Yet, when you do get your Cheque it is actually was dated within two weeks of working.
- forget getting any sort of penalty pay from production when you are cut 6 hours before work. Boss will tell you can go and try getting it, but it s better not to make a problem.
-communication, what communication?? Within their own agency there is little communication as they will double book you for auditions and background. Then get mad at you for it. They do not answer their phones or texts, saying sorry I don t check my texts even though they texted you in the first place. When you have questions or concerns before 10:00am, good luck. Furthermore, they are rude, curt and plain offensive on the phone. When you have questions or are just trying to actually help them, they text/email and say that the re just confused. I guess speaking to an actual human is impossible there.
- they will get you in trouble on set as they will miss listing specific instructions as to what, when, where or how you should look like when you get there. And even after they own up to it, they will use it against you.

-foster you career? Ha forget that. They are not there to help you advance but probably derail your career in and outside of the film. Just lookat the other peoples posts on here, that is a snippet as what goes on.

Sonya May or may not know what kind of people she has working for her. She might want to find out and fire them, as everyone in the field thinks Boss is the worst.

Boss in Vancouver is very reasonable with me and respectful. Never a harsh word, very professional and they have some good assignments, to be sure. Central and available. Keep up the good work, Boss.

Boss Management is a superior agency for actors. They have some great people working there as agents
for acting, modelling and background performing. Some agents specialize in commercial print work and voice overs. Others in commercials and others are generalists handling acting, commercials and everything else. My acting agent, Danny Abraham has consistently provided me with opportunity to be in the top audition rooms. He is also excellent at advising me. My background agent, Liz is the best background agent I have ever had. She and her staff makes sure I am submitted to lots of shows and therefore I have gotten lots of work through their stellar efforts. I'm even doing continuity background on one show. All the staff at Boss including the CEO, Sonya have a lot of experience and a desire to help performers succeed.
They also have a new sister agency, Apollo Management. The photographer that Boss uses, Moe is easy to work with and is a talented photographer. I have many extremely good photos from my photo shoot with him. They even have someone who does location scouting for film and TV productions. Boss has a PAD system,and that means no more waiting for cheques. The create a Dropbox for you that contains all the information you'd need about your bookings. Plus they are now creating another system for documents. You couldn't ask for a more businesslike and efficient agency. Its the people that really makes Boss, shine.

I had an issue with an agent and BOSS came in and immediately started working WITH myself and my daughter to clean the mess and get us out and working - thank you Sonya & Boss Management~!

Not only was I only sent on 2 auditions in a year (one of which I had to bring to my agents attention myself), but when my agent left the agency, I found out from an outside party. The agency waited several months to contact me and introduce a new agents. That is a lot of missed opportunities.
Boss is good for background work, but from my experience, I can t say the same for commercial. I felt completely disregarded.

unprofessional. Wouldnt recommend. I called them to ask about joining them and they seemed totally uninterested.

Well not even sure if i am part of the company anymore
Have casting workbook but boss is not listed as my agent, just fre agent at this time. Since I filled out forms for freeman casting and listed I was transgender they seem to call me more for background. Now need agent for principal work. I aalso have my kids that were listed with them, same no listing.
Guess we were droped but no one told me?

I have been loyal to boss for almost 6yrs even if I can not get around as fast as they would wish me to . Boss has given me as many accommodation as I wish to as long as am professional on the job . Keep it up Boss for it a long road ahead . For if you can bend without breaking all well.

Boss management is amazing. The first agency i've been signed with and they made it very welcoming for me when I first got signed. All around great company to work for!

Super friendly group of agents! I always have a great experiences & good booking rates with them! :)

Great talent agency team to work with; direct-deposit payroll saves everyone a lot of time and money. Thank you, Boss Mgmt!

Personable and professional. They care about their people and they take the time to see everyone as an individual. Always pleasant and positive in their communications - I'm happy to work for them!

Nice people!!!!! Super friendly- happy to work with them =)

Friendly,caring dedicated staff. I always feel like they are looking for the best jobs for my daughter.

Wouldn't recommend. could not make it to one audition due to my day job and i let my agent know and they threatened to drop me then proceeded to call me and leave voicemails swearing at me and bashing my day job. (since i cant reply to you're reply do you want me to post screenshots even proving that i didn't miss several? id be more than happy to!) AVOID BOSS!
