I had a good first experience working with Characters For Hire, who handled all client communication and outstanding business with ease.

Characters For Hire is great. I’ve worked three gigs with them and everything was just as planned. When the most recent gig went an additional two hours they negotiated a fair pay bump. Thumbs up.

They don't care about paying the people who do the actual work on time or at all. Amy and everyone else only give excuses and lie about when/if you'll be paid at all. Definitely a shady company who lies and cheats to make a nickel.
