Across the Nation Promo Model and Staffing

I have worked a couple of events for ATN over the past three years. Once I expressed interest in an upcoming event in the email they sent, they called me some weeks later to ask if I was still available. I said I was, so they signed me up preliminarily. They send another email shortly that allowed me to confirm the event. It had all the information I needed in order to get started on the day of the event. The only hiccup was that the email stated a different contact person, so I had to contact ATN in order to get the correct contact person’s information.
The event was on 11/​9, and I got paid via direct deposit on ¹²⁄₄. With ATN, you have to be sure to check their member’s area after the event to verify hours worked and such, or there may be a delay in payment. All in all, the gigs booked with them have been few and far between, but I have always gotten paid.

Under no circumstances should you work for this piece of shit company. I am 4 weeks into a promo, and still can’t get a straight answer about getting paid. Nobody will answer a phone call. They are scammers, and until I get paid for work already done, I will blast them on every possible website.

I read some reviews about them forgetting about you after the event when it comes to pay and it seems like they have done me the same way. First off I did a short gig for them for about $ 65, and these MF still have a problem with paying me. There’s no communication after the event about payment. I had to threaten legal action this morning. They hired me late. Molly will tell you anything to get u to do a gig. She told me pay would be two weeks, mailed me a contract that said two to three. After the event, they email u something that says put in your hours, ok, a week later, they email u info from there payroll. You have turn those papers in and all. After that they told me ATN did not send them info on me. I was like wow, well why did they send u my way, lol. I even foward the email of what she sent to me for the work day. I do not have time to play games over a small check. I texted her this morning she stright up lied to me and said the payroll was not open and I called and talked to them right before I called her. Molly do not give a dam about u, another example of sorry people in the business, who once they get paid do not care.

I’ve worked numerous events when im not at my full time job including Microsoft, Naked Juices and Espn. Its a real company and YES you get paid just make sure you fill out the paperwork or Ive heard it can be delayed.

This is a true story and you can look me up to see if i am real. My name is Scottie Nic. I was a brand ambassador for an AVP/​Jose Cuervo event in 2006. My weekend event turned into a life changer. I went on four tours, travelled around the country, hung out with Olympians daily and had the time of my life thanks to ATN. I LOVE ATN. THEY ARE A FANTASTIC COMPANY TO WORK FOR. I WILL NEVER FORGET THE MEMORIES. THANK YOU JOEY!

They post ads claiming to have 100 of jobs for BAs and promo models. So I sign up. 3 months later they send me a job, I follow directions send an email to molly. Then they send me another one, THE SAME ONE I ALREADY APPLIED FOR the night before the actual gig, Follow directions again, text molly, asks me my full name and I never hear back. Very unprofessional and un organized. I’ll stick to freelance
Bye ATN

I have been emailing ATN for a month now, because their pay company — atrium emailed me on June 5 stating that ATN does not have a record of me working in January. I also left a voicemail. I did not submit all my paper work on time — yes my fault, but I did submit, eventually, in March and April per Atrium request to get paid for the event that I worked. They even specified what event I worked. Now, ATN does not have a record of me working. Somehow a record was found that I worked for 1 day and was a standby on the second day which was incorrect. I never received copies of time sheets. Let’s see if ATN actually checks this and FINDS records of my employment.

Horrible! Do not create an account to be a staff member. Complete scam, they don’t let you delete your account or even give you an option to contact them to delete it. I can’t believe how much of a scan this is and I want my account deleted.

Save yourself time and money and go with some else. The employees are overworked and underpaid, paid late, and often unpaid for overtime. They scam employees by transferring their employment between multiple entities, ATN, Atrium etc. to avoid paying benefits: and make them sign «waivers of rights» before getting paid. Be aware. I’m so glad I didn’t refer any of my personal or business contacts to this company.

I’ve been working with ATN promo since 2005 yep, 10 years. I have infrequently worked however they always welcome me with open arms when I return to the South East. I must say I am happy they have joined forces with Atrium Staffing to have a better payroll system and opportunities; and they also continue to offer work with above average hourly rates. I always get paid within the maximum time frame they allow for invoicing etc. Everyone who is hired isn’t always happy to not be paid immediately, but I’ve been in the promo and acting business for years. You gotta give them 90 days and the point is to build up your work to keep getting those checks month after month. Check out my last gig at the RBC Heritage golf tournament 2015.

Okay, so updating my review based on a couple of positive things from ATN –
+ Just be patient. ATN staff are pretty responsive when it comes to your questions (
)
+ I was eventually paid at about the 8-​week mark, which was what was promised in their talent vouchers. Good, but could have been better.
+ I am being paid for gigs even after my first one. They take about 15 – 30 days after the event to invoice everything, but you should be fine. Even got it hooked up to use direct deposit! (=
I definitely think in light of this ATN deserves to be rounded up to four stars or a B+. They are a legitimate company that has hired over hundreds of other people under some pretty respectable brands.
If they do get a bad rap, it’s because people don’t get paid. And people don’t get paid if they don’t fill in their paperwork or other matters related to work. I guess it’s the nature of the promo industry that the payroll is so erratic — I’m not sure. I still feel like that area could use improvement.
Either way I work the gigs, I get paid, I’m happy.

I would severely question accounts who have written a single review does not seem like legitimate accounts.

I’ve worked with ATN for years. They are the only company that offers an expedited payment option through Pay Pal and you can always reach a friendly staffer on the phone. They have become like family, and once you’re in, you get first dibs on all the events that come down the pike. This is one of my favorite Promo companies to work for!
