SCAM, DISCRIMINATION, DECEPTION, UNPROFESSIONAL, HARASSMENT! That is all you will recieve from this fake agency. Where do I begin. Erin McKinnon is absolutely disgusting, unprofessional, & a liar who discriminated against me & harassed me for weeks. Her assistant, Jordan Pitisci is no different & has called me a liar among other things when it was HER who failed to know basic components of her job, which puts her incompetence & lack of professionalism on display. Shea Williams, the ring leader of the clowns, can also be described as Erin & Jordan were. Shea was rude & belittled me from the moment I first contacted her, treating me as if I was an uneducated child when in fact it appears as if nobody at M&G is educated or has any real-world experience. Shea is a coward, illiterate, immature, & above all, unprofessional. That explains why their lives have led them to be no more than mere customer service type agents that anyone who made it through middle school could do & likely do better than any of them. Currently there are multiple lawsuits filed against M&G for fraud as well as countless harassment complaints. They are also flagged on the Better Business Bureau website for harassing customers, employees, & models. Don't expect much out of an "agency" run by individuals who are not even remotely familiar with laws, modeling terminology, or how to book actual jobs for their "models". You will NOT book any real jobs with this agency. Instead, you'll be forced to take jobs in sketchy liquor stores where you're forced to buy your own product to sample, table, display items, etc. Compensation for any of these items, if they ever do make an attempt to do so which almost never happens, will come months after the event & only if you pester them for the reimbursement. I assure you that you will never get anywhere in life, especially not as a model or actress by taking any "bookings" from M&G. This "agency" is very sneaky & will book you one-off sketchy jobs then proceed to quickly change the job description, what they pay for, the specs, etc. in hopes that you won't notice. Then if you question anything that was changed, they will ask you to prove it (like a child would), knowing that the information is gone & there is no way for you to find it again. They will search your private information as well, which is an invasion of privacy & absolutely not their place to do.
My own experience with these scam artists went like this. I only worked for them for a few weeks with my jobs being in a one-week or so time frame before I caught on to their scam. A job I booked asked for a clear ice bucket & was required for the event. I looked for said item in many different stores around the area, but couldn't find any that were in stock at any stores. The closest store that had this item was a Pottery Barn that was 2 hours from where I was located. After confirming multiple times that these purchases would be reimbursed & Jordan assuring me every time I emailed that they would be, I bought the item as well as a coctail shaker that was also required for the event & clearly stated as a necessary item to bring to the event location. After purchasing these, using them for the event, emailing Jordan several times to show her the reciepts, & asking when I would be reimbursed, I was told several days later by Erin (who conveniently jumped back in the conversation that she had been included in every time that Jordan confirmed that I would be reimbursed) said they weren't reimbursing me. I questioned this & stayed professional despite Jordan & Erin's harassment & name-calling towards me. When I brought up that this was fraud, Erin seemed to be frightened since fraud can have M&G shut down. This is when she offered to provide partial compensation for the shaker only. I declined since Jordan said I would be fully reimbursed. At this point, Jordan began a new email thread to harass me more, labeling me as a liar & saying I was taking advantage of M&G. To this, I told her to discontinue communication with me since I didn't appreciate the harassment & her claims that were clearly false. If she had done her job right in the first place & not blatenly lied about reimbursement for these items, I would've had no problem with not being reimbursed, but the fact that she lied & Erin sat back, lazily watching the interactions occur is why I fought against their scam. I then got in contact with Shea to attempt to civilly resolve the issue since it was clear that Erin & Jordan were far too incompet to understand what fraud is. I was very wrong to assume that someone who claims to have run M&G for 20 years would be any more knowledgeable than her subordinates. I feel bad for anyone who is/was subjected to the joke that Shea is while she was "running" her fake "agency" for the past two decades. In that amount of time, one would think that she would have gained some kind of insight about how to be professional, but that assumption would be terribly wrong read more
