GC Marketing Services ,GC Marketing Services Heather Preston Scam Promotional Agency Do not Pay on TIme Racist!!! New York New York

Melissa, Just for the record, I know you filed a complaint against GC Marketing in NY, but unfortunately it is coming up under my company name in Florida and there is no connection to the two companies. President, Gulf Coast Marketing Services

I've been signed up with GC Marketing Services for two years, and just recently have been booked to work different events. Im guessing they want people that are always updating their profiles, to see if your really serious about your work. They don't have interviews, nor see you in person, so how you log-in and update your profile is how they can see if your serious about working. The event i recently worked payed me $18 an hour and there were other event staffs on the job and they told me they were getting paid $25. Either their lying or their some type of leader. I love Heather, she's the type of "boss" that does'nt really bother you, unless your doing your job, respectfully. So you have no point in being upset and writing a report on ripoff report about GC Marketing or Heather Preston. And once you get booked, you would definatly start getting booked for more events. Just dont stop applying. i <3 GCMS!!

I think the racist thing comes from your head. I'm hispanic and I've never had any problems with them. I've worked several events for GC Marketing where I find not only african american brand ambassadors, but white, asian, hispanic. I've talked to Heather a lot of times, and I've talked to the account department, and they've been nothing but nice to me. I would probably say Heather is a little cold when she talks, but she's never been disrespectful to me.

About payments, well, they've always been on time. I would receive my check within 4 weeks without a problem.

Hey there. I'm going to say I agree with half you wrote, but first, the disagreement. I don't know if I'd be so quick to pull the race card. I get tons of emails from GC, and I've belonged to them for almost a year, but I've only gotten picked for maybe 3 events. I'm also in the NYC area. Before assuming that they're intentionally ignoring you, remember that it's not GC picking you out, it's their clients. Also, consider how many people are registered in the NYC area. I don't know the exact number, but I think it's safe to say it's a lot! So for every email they send out, they can easily get like 300 responses or more!

As for the payment, I've never had an issue with late payments, as I have other companies. I had an issue with another company in which I waited almost 3 months for payment. However, I got several emails from them saying that the client was taking forever to pay, so they really had no control over that.

Also, as far as rates go, it's common for companies to vary. I did a promo 2 years ago with one company that paid $20/hr. Another company was doing the promo at the same exact time, same area, for $22/hr.

But now, the agreement part! Heather, omg. I didn't remember her til you mentioned her. She is just RUDE! I was supposed to do a promo last June, but 2 days before the promo, I fell off of my bike - like - full out flying over the handlebars, etc. I literally couldn't move my forearms without being in immense pain, so there was no way I could do the promo 2 days later. I called GC (with the phone on my desk on speakerphone b/c I couldn't bend my arms to my ears) and explained everything to Heather, saying that it hurt to turn my doorknob, nevermind driving a car to the promo site! She was unsympathetic and really really rude. I've debated emailing GC to complain about her. Perhaps I should.
