Worked there for a while. Was put on a suspension for what i was told an "harassment" issue. Was never given any more details than that, other than they were doing an investigation and that i would not be allowed to give my side of the story or say anything on the subject.
2 weeks later i was fired and was not given any of my personal items. When i complained they said management had not told then i had anything. After a few weeks of trying to get my stuff i had to contact another employee about my stuff. When this was brought to managements attention they tried to force the employee to show them

Ive been with this agency since I got to Vegas I love Gwyn the most since she is always willing to listen and talk to clients about rates and making us models comfortable, all though I must say that the rates in Vegas in general are horrible, they keep on declining and its sad to see no one fighting to bring them up. All in all they are the ones I trust te most
