The agencies I work with pay me more than my privately contacted
clients do. Weird. Then, they do mostly corporate stuff, so there's
more money to be had. I guess it makes sense.
The one problem I've had is when a company told me I would be at a
place for two hours with a possible third to be negotiated with the
clients. I was there for two hours and twenty minutes, but they
didn't pay me for the extra twenty.
Another time, a large gig got canceled at the last minute. Had it
been my personal show, I would have had at least the deposit to cheer
me up. As it was, I was out a day with nothing.
So there are some downsides, but the upsides are worth it to me.
