Vantaggi

Absolutely no pros whatsoever. This place is nothing but a big scam. Be sure to read reviews of the companies former name One Source Talent.

Svantaggi

This is a pyramid scheme sales job, plain and simple. They hire people in at different titles but the job is 100% the same for everyone, the only difference is whether you will be selling in person or over the phone. Literally every employee will be meeting with or calling clients who believe they are meeting with a talent coordinator for modeling and acting opportunities. This is 100% false. There are no actual modeling or acting opportunities provided, but we were forced to show clients some fancy website that made it seem as if there were. They trained us to act like we only accepted the best of the best and that there was some type of approval process to work with the company. The truth is, literally every single person will be accepted, as long as they have the $249 and $39.95 required to sign up. After you pay, they bring you back within 1-2 weeks for another appointment where their main goal is to sell you some lame, over priced photo shoot. Be sure to look them up as their former name of One Source Talent. There were so many issues and bad claims that they actually had to change their name, close down office locations and re-open under the new name of nine9. Also be sure to google the article from the New York Times regarding one source talent/Nine9.

Hi and thanks for taking the time to share how you felt about your time with us. We're disappointed to hear that a former employee had a negative view about who we are and what we do as a company. Your review was written a couple years ago, but I'd like to apologize that no one has responded to you until now. It does seem based on what you've written here that we could have been more diligent in training you across all departments within our corporate office. Since 2016, we've improved our training immensely and we do feel that you would have seen we have hundreds of opportunities for our talent every week in both modeling and acting. We will admit that we may have let you down in this regard but can assure you or anyone reading this review that we're booking talent for roles every single week. We're happy to link to our success stories which can be found here https://nine9.com/success-stories and these are just a handful of the people who took the time to share their experience. We've never hidden the fact that we charge an enrollment fee because we aren't an agency but a talent service geared towards entertainment and marketing. We're upfront about this in every response here online and have worked to be transparent every step of the way with the talent we work with. Our passion lies in truly helping people to find their place in this industry and we're sorry to see that passion was not shared during your employment here. We're much more willing to work with new talent than agencies because as you likely know, agencies only sign 1% of the talent that apply to them. We feel everyone deserves their shot to build their skills, work on their craft, and find success. I'd also like to point out that even at the time of your review, working with a professional photographer has always been entirely up to the talent. We're able to work with these photographers to get discounted rates for our talent but they always have the choice to take their own photos, use the headshots we take at the office, or choose a photographer of their own. Changing a company name after 15 years in business isn't uncommon. We felt Nine9 better represented our business and our mission which is why we made that choice. Any perception of this branding strategy outside of this is simply incorrect. We want all of our employees to feel that Nine9 was the best employer they've ever worked for. We can respect that you had opinions about our business and are very sorry that things didn't work out. All of us here at Nine9 do hope you found a career that is better suited to you and we wish you only the greatest success.
