I have freelanced for them in the past and often, I have not been paid; this after completing the job. Do you know, they send you out of town and ask you to pay for the tickets and accomodation? Then, if the job is dropped, they don't compensate you for expenses...they tell you they will 'adjust' it on another job. And that never happens!
