Unreliable Pay, Lying and Unprofessional management - werkgeversreview Photographer and Videographer bij AMVProductions

- You'll likely have consistent shoots every weekend for a good portion of the year - They've been around long enough to get a lot of bookings and referrals - You can meet and network with other shooters

It has lots of potential but is heavily marred by management. It is a very narrcissistic, gaslighting, lying and abusive workplace. You will be lied to about everything under the sun. You will start to notice the cracks and eventually screaming red flags as your pay becomes overdue and inconsistently provided. A lot of people end their time there while still owed thousands of dollars. Everything is designed to make it as difficult as possible to have any recourse. You can't take any weekends off or they'll fire you immediately or they will barely give you any work and lie about why that is happening, while behind your back they discuss how they will let you go as soon as it stops being busy. There is a lot of racism, sexism and immature middle school bad jokes in poor taste from management. Management is also active online posting fake reviews of themselves whenever anything negative is posted.

I have learned so much from the fellow photographers that work there and made some great friends

Despite being freelance they do not want you to have a successful career outside of their company. The are constantly late on payments, sometimes by months and even then you are always scared the cheques will bounce because they have no money in the account. It's happened over 20 times in one year from some people. Photographers that are supposed to be freelance are constantly harassed and questioned about the work they do outside of the company even if it has nothing to do with weddings. And if you decide to leave, they will constantly harass you with legal action and send lawyers after you even if you did everything by the book when you left. They thrive on keeping people scared and confused so they can deny paycheques and make you feel like you have no other choice but to stay.
