John Casablancas Modeling And Career Centers, MTM Model & Talent Management Greedy Agency that violates workers rights and fails to disburse funds RIPOFF San Diego California
I signed with John Casablancas agency MTM and have worked many promotions. I have worked 93.5 hours total and have yet to receive one penny. To make everything clear the first promotion I worked was in June of 2005. I have been calling their office in San Diego I even called their corporate office in NY. They told me that I had never signed a contract.
I immediately faxed them the copy of my contract and they agreed to send me my checks. After a week of waiting I called again and they told me the check got returned and that they were going to send it to the local agency, so I agreed. One week later I still don't have my paycheck and they don't seem to care.
That is not all I know two other people that are going through the same thing.
If you are thinking about taking their acting and modeling training classes please don't waste your time. It is 2,000 dollars down the drain. The classes are a joke.

Finally after many months of waiting I got some checks in the mail. I did the math and they still owe me some money. So I am still going to claim waiting time penalties (to the Labor Commissioner) for the 6 long months I paciently waited. This is a violation of the Labor Code under the Talent Agency Act.

I am in school right now with JC and I have worked 5 shows in the last two months and have got payed for 4 out of five. Maybe you never went to the agency listing and filled out a contract with mtm. Im looking for something to go wrong with casablancas because right after I started I read a whole bunch of bad stuff about them, so I almost quit, so far so good but I will definatly keep you updated if anything bad happens.
