Pros

Nothing. Pay rates dropped, clients became sparse at best.

Cons

4 weeks to payouts - this is MENTAL! For all we know they're playing with our money for an entire month stuffing their pockets instead of doing hard negotiations with their big clients for better rates and cutting proverbial freelance staff to aid in increasing pay rates.

Pros

Easy to find a client

Cons

Smart Shoot is arguably the worst at communication. The employees are rude to the photographers and never help when we have questions. They constantly screw over the photographers financially and are NEVER available to help even though they send a message for every client project saying to call if we have an issue. They do not respond or call back in a timely fashion, if at all. No matter how professional I keep it they always have a less than professional and sometimes borderline inappropriate responses. They lie and do not listen or read your messages then reply with an unhelpful answer, ignoring all the important things you mention or ask. They just care about getting money for themselves and do not care whether their employees are paid or taken care of.
