Dizon Model and Talent Agency

Agency has treated me well, a spokes model with big marketing contracts, and always paid me on time if not early. I know the standards are high and if you do a poor job you may not be paid at all after you are confronted about poor delivery (this is industry standard) so if you cannot deliver, don’t sign up.
It’s quite often some can be discouraged and even enraged by high demanding exceptional performance is but if you have what it takes, you will do very well.
Regarding previous post: Perhaps some previous «talent» may have made up stories after being removed from the roster?

I have worked with Kris on a number of different promotions. He has always been very professional and pays promptly, I received one check in the mail the day after the event, the others have been about a week after completing the events. I have a few friends that have worked events with Dizon as well and we have never had any issues being paid and they are very responsive whenever we have questions. Not sure what happened with the reviews on here from a few years ago but I have been working with Dizon for the past year and have only had good experiences!

I personally had a really uncomfortable experience with the owner Kris. He interviewed me by taking me in his backroom, asking me to undress in front of him into a tiny underwear and bra. He repeatedly asked me to take a shot of alcohol from his desk (I refused). Then the next step to model with his agency was to meet him at a bar that night to see how people «react» to me. Ummmm… no thanks.

Kris gives occasional work. He pays faster than other agencies. Some agencies pay after one month, he has always paid me a week or two after the gig, which is great! I have worked with him occasionally for over a year now, he has always been professional and understanding. I only wish there was more work… so that’s why I gave 4 stars instead of 5.

Words that come to mind are scammer, shady, sketchy and unprofessional.
Most of my jobs I was paid for. But not all.
The final straw for me was the last gig I did for Dizon Model and Talent. Kris asked me to do a second demo that day. We spoke on the phone while I was at my first location, and apparently there was some confusion at another location and he needed someone to complete the three hour gig. I let him know that it was very far, and for the money, it didn’t make sense for me to make the trip. He promised me more money to make it worth my time. So, I did the job.
When I received the check for the original smaller amount discussed, I called him. Repeatedly. I sent emails (plural). I made many attempts to contact Kris Dizon, but I never received a response. That was a few years ago. Obviously, I no longer work for Dizon Model and Talent Agency.

Do not do any work for this company! They will not pay you and will not return phone call or emails when you request payment!
