It was a good, happy relationship for the first two days. Those were the only two days that the paper arrived in time to be taken to work. This annoyance aside, fella started taking the prior day's paper to work. This was mainly laziness (he didn't want to cancel the paper), rather than devotion to this publication. As our service went on, we were more and more displeased. When signing up, there had been promises of a special offer. Yet our bills never reflected that offer. The papers were thrown all over the place, sometimes in the middle of our townhouse complex parking lot. We also were skipped for several papers, including a couple of Sunday editions. This was really frustrating, as the Sunday paper was the one we sought the most. We'd call in the morning and they wouldn't do anything about it. "Oh, we'll credit you," was the answer. They never credited us. We finally canceled the service. The content of the paper was always decent... not as full as the Seattle papers, but it would keep you busy. I always found the classifieds particularly disappointing. No one advertises in this Snohomish Country paper - they go straight to the Seattle papers. Even the Northern cities such as Everett don't seem to bother.

It's a good reality check. But if one of my sales people acts creepy, tell the store manager or call the paper. We don't need him. The ones I keep make over $50 an hour BTW, so they don't need YOUR order. As far as delivery service goes, it is a constant problem for all papers. They can pay only so much per paper delivered and with the price of gas as high as it is, the carrier turnover is relentless.

I have been cast as a principal for a commercial; a speaking part in a promotional video; was selected for a modeling shoot and have also participated as background talent. These were for local companies as well as national and one international. I have been sent on auditions where I did not get cast. It comes with the business. But each effort made to go out and try is a win-win because your perseverance will pay off. You help your ability as a performer grow as you become more experienced and comfortable with the audition process. I was with another agency for a few years before and was thankful for the training I received with them however I did not get cast for paid gigs. While on an audition I came across an old friend who is on the talent roster with Emerald City and who suggested I connect with them in hopes to get more audition notices and hopefully paid gigs. I have not regretted that. I have met wonderful people through the agency and have made lasting friendships with other talent. When I decided to be part of the talent roster I did not have any pictures for immediate use so I did have the agency take a headshot of me. It is standard to need a headshot and resume when going out on auditions or to even be considered for one. The picture or pictures you have available serve as a way for casting agents to select you from other candidates for a potential audition. I had the option of ordering a larger photo package wearing different outfits but it was not feasible for me at the time. I do have the option to slowly add to that portfolio as I have photos from my paid gigs. I can also have the agency take more photos to show a range of looks if I choose to do so to help make me even more marketable. I can't speak for others but as for myself, I am thankful for the experience I have received at Emerald City Model and Talent to focus on how to prepare for potential jobs and the opportunities to be sent on audition calls. When I had important people in my life going through rough times, they were supportive of me stepping back from auditions to focus on what needed my attention at that time. The agency has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and they have been in this industry for over 25 years plus I know other performing artists who have been cast as talent from this agency as well. All of these factors made me comfortable with choosing the agency. I have found it does take an investment of time and money plus your commitment to really aspire to make yourself better than before which really is what one would have to do for any endeavor. I look forward to more possibilities from the experience I have gained while being with this agency.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE! I made a comment here on Yelp, and "Easa H's" reply to my…read morecomment was a complete LIE - let's analyze: In his reply here on Yelp he wrote: "We are very Melissa that you feel that way..." -----NOT TRUE - when I expressed my concerns, I was denied a refund without sympathy, and via text, the recruiter girl's reply via text was a snide "Tough luck cookie, you've learned your lesson." He wrote: "when you came in you were very excited to start the business" ----NOT TRUE - I was NOT "very excited to start." NOT AT ALL. I was VERY APPREHENSIVE AND CONFUSED. I was told I was there for a shoe/foot model interview, and the 'interview' turned into a bait and switch. "i told you we had a audition for you" -----NOT TRUE! There was no specific mention of any kind of interview for me. "so we went forward and did the comp card" -----NOT SO EASY! I WAS EXTREMELY APPREHENSIVE, EXAPLAINED MULTIPLE TIMES I DIDN'T WANT TO BE A MODEL, I FELT OVERWEIGHT, MY HAIR COLOR WAS GROWN OUT, AND I WASN'T EXPECTING ANY KIND OF PHOTOSHOOT and was CONFUSED SINCE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR A FOOT gig. I was coerced into doing to shoot just to get you to stop hounding me. I was vulnerable and you took advantage of me. WORST YET, I gave you my credit card but you said it didn't work, so I gave you my debit card. When I realized I was conned as soon as I stepped outside - in went into my car and cried! Then I tried stopping the payment, BUT YOU CAN'T STOP A PAYMENT ON A DEBIT CARD!! SHADY! "and as i said as soon as i saved you in our database i submitted you for a casino shoot". ----GARBAGE! AFTER I CRIED AND TRIED STOPPING THE PAYMENT I went back inside to ask you to give me my money back and you refused. You did not say anything about a casino. You said you sent the photos off for editing and your editor had already started (In less than 5 minutes - extremely hard to believe) so that's why you couldn't refund my money. Then you jumped into a fancy car with your friend and went to eat - you left your office immediately after dismissing me - you didn't keep doing any work on my stuff. "and my client replied back and he wanted for you to send him a self tape for a casino shoot" --- IF THIS IS TRUE - DOUBTFUL, YOU MADE NO MENTION OF IT TO ME - NONE, NOT EVEN A WHISPER. "and for some reason someone talked you out of going forward with our agency" ---- NO ONE TALKED ME OUT OF IT - I FELT IT IN MY BONES THAT I HAD BEEN CONNED WHEN I WALKED OUT. The entire experience was so much uncomfortable pressure, and you wouldn't hear my polite ways of saying no, you just pushed and pushed. As soon as I stepped out of your office I knew I had been worked over, and it felt awful. I looked you up on Yelp and found you have CONNED LOTS OF PEOPLE!! I cried so hard! "so i had to tell the client you were not available" --- I Would have been available if I had known anything about it - I was stuck having $700 conned from me, might as well have made the best of it, BUT YOU NEVER TOLD ME. "and when a client likes your look and i submit you for a job and i tell him you are nor available it really makes us look bad" ----THIS IS CLASSIC GASLIGHTING 101. How could I be to blame when I knew nothing of it. THIS COMPANY MAKES ITSELF LOOK BAD. "and most clients if you keep doing that they will stop calling our agency" ---- Clients SHOULD STOP CALLING YOUR AGENCY. THIS AGENCY SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN and return all the money it has stolen from people back to them. "fortunately for us we have been working with this same casting director for forty years so he keeps calling us back. We literately have thousands of auditions and jobs every year because we have over 500 clients we have been in business for forty + years". ---- I would SERIOUSLY QUESTION AND DISTRUST EVERY casting team or directors that do business with this company. "we have a A+ raining with the BBB since 1991" --- This seriously makes me think there's something very shady going on here - I mean - LOOK AT ALL OF THESE YELP REVIEWS. LOOK AT THEM. REPEATEDLY CALLED OUT FOR BEING SCAMMERS- OVER AND OVER. "but still very sorry it did not work out for you" ---- I DO NOT BELIVE ONE BIT THAT YOU ARE IN ANY WAY SINCERELY SORRY. IF YOU WERE YOU"RE DO SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION. In 5 minutes, your editor definitely did not do $700 of work. You could have given me $600 back and kept $100 for the time it took to con me, and the 5 minutes of work your editor did, BUT YOU DIDN'T CARE. YOU HAD MY MONEY, and YOU KNEW THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO GET IT BACK - YOU KNEW EXACTLY WHAT TO SAY AND DO TO PREVENT ME FROM STOPPING PAYMENT. YOUR METHODS OF COERSION WERE AWEFUL FEELING. I'm STILL sick about it. I wish I could sue you, but you did say I was perfect - sure - perfectly vulnerable, gullible and too poor to fight back. SICKENING - all of it. Even the smell of the grease in your hair, blech.
