Joonbug Productions Reviews

Joonbug and john gabel and his wife are scam artists and I know for a fact are involved with human trafficking, they have willingly allowed kids to be kidnapped and sold into the sex trade. these people are the lowest form of sum on earth. stay far far away from john gabel and joonbug crave productions or whatever new name they chabge to

John if you are reading this or your lawyer is reading it to you while you rot in a jail cell find GOD John

I began working for joonbug in 2012 and have since quit. At first I would work off and on(not like they really have many assignments for you anyways, most are on NYE, St. Patty's Day, etc) . My photography manager whom I'll call R never got alot of the facts straight when it came to the assigning places here in Philly, and sometimes when I would arrive at certain spots the club owners had absolutely NO idea I was coming but would let me in anyways.

Long story short when it came time for me to get paid for assignments, I had to basically ASK for my check and for some reason R would NEVER remember my address!!! :roll This would be every time I had an assignment and had to get paid. How the *** don't you remember employees addresses and they are working for you...That info is supossed to always be on file if you are a real employer, smdh.

Several times I had to jack of R either over photos, or my paycheck. They are definately shady as all ***. Don't *** with them. If you are a photographer my advice is to start your own event photography blog/gig and go to some real parties/events and not the *** place Joonbug will send you 8)

Jon Gabel from Joonbug is broke, bankrupt and being brought up on drug and prostitution charges. He owes a lot of people money and can't afford to pay them.

And to make matters worse he did not pay his staff and fired the majority of his team. What a ***.

How do you know Jon gabel is being brought up with drug and prostitution charges??

Joonbug interview

So I applied Joonbug's PR/Even manager position early this month. Before I went there, i read some reviews about how their interviews conducted. The person wrote online that Joonbug cancelled her appointment last minutes' twice already. He/she will never trust them.

I was like...lol.

So on the day of interview, there are around 8-10 people in total waiting for the group interview during that time slot. some of them suited up, some of them(like me) wore semi-formal shirt.(by the way, you don't need to wait for their interview reply emails, you can choose the time to go in for the interview right after you finish your online application.)

and we waited almost half hour, R (since she's no longer in Joonbug, i will not say her name) came out and apologized for the waiting, and she broke the group into 3 small groups. When I entered her office, she basically told us that people at Joonbug are very nice, the job is easy, but not just hang-out in the bar/clubs, you actually get office work done too, and you will get a lot of opportunities to meet people.....all good things about Joonbug. and she's looking for someone replace her, since she's leaving shortly.

when she said if you are looking for a 9-5 regular working hour job, this is definitely not for you. Two interviewees directly walked out of the door before the individual interviews. well, understandable, it's a lifestyle preference. she also told us that there will be a short individual interview after the group interview and a second interview later during their promoted events. She wants to know how well we handle the situation in real life.

Then when we started our individual interviews with R in her world-smallest office, she basically just asked" tell me about yourself", "why you interested in this job", "why should I hire you" and she assigned me to one of the event at L (midtown club, changed their name before) on Saturday night. and she said she will email me with all the info.

So I thought, cool, this should be 1) good bar/club 2) show my character and organizing skills. BTW, in order to give me more time to prepare, i chose the one in two weekends instead of during the following weekend.

Thanks god, i shared my email address with other interviewees in case we need to contact each other.

First week, no emails, so do other 5-6 interviewees.

Second week, Monday, Tuesday no emails.

Wednesday, I called, emails, they finally send to me with info. information made me mad i highlighted in blue:

Thursday, i found out that club has a lot of bad reviews.

Friday, call the office, transferred me to someone else's voice mails, no replied emails. This made me feel they hired someone already!

(I suppose to know who am i checked in with or will my name be at the front door, but body contacted me)

Finally, I didn't bring my friends there.

1) It's serious, I highly doubt if they are just using this interview opportunities to have more people to promote their sponsored event for free.

2) I respect the way they interview, but if you just wanna people to bring as many people as they can, why don't you hire promoters directly. BTW, I know promoters get paid too, and we don't. If you really wanna to test out our skills, why there's no operation part or scheduling part or any other part that other than promoting part that we can participate.

3) after adressing the dress-code in the email, they still said No guarantee at the front door. That means I am sending out an invitation saying"Hi guys, wanna come for the event that i organize, oh, by the way, you might not get in, but you are more than welcome to show at the door and waiting for us finish if you want."

4) No communication between interviewers and interviewees when i sent out specific questions either through emails or voice messages. Well, I guess the interview review i saw was throughly right.

Conclusion: Interviewees desirve respect and don't take advantage of us, because we are looking for a job!!!

I worked with this company as a photographer and this place is a scam they scam customers and they scam employees. Jon Gabel is the owner and he is a sleaze ball with a criminal record a mile long.

"no organization, no human resources, no one seems to know what is going on... ever. The office is not united- some people barely know if others work there or not- very strange and so are the owners. They place ads for event managers every week and have multiple interviews every week.

These poor people thought they would be hired for full time positions. They have the people go out to nightclubs and bring their friends or other people out, and many times will not reimburse them or pay them as promised. Also, about 80% of the people that you may see working there- are all INTERNS (working for free) It's a major scam!!! Biggest show of smoke and mirrors I've ever experienced."

Jon Gabel JoonBug CEO Arrested on Drug Charges

A six week New York City Police Department narcotics undercover investigation ended Wednesday night with the arrest of four people and the recovery of a variety of drugs and cash.

Sgt. Keith ***, NYC Police Department Narcotics Division, said Jon Gabel, Rodney Forbes, Timothy Douglas were taken into custody without incident, when narcotics officers and NYC SWAT members served a search warrant on the offices of Joonbug headquarters in NYC.

Gabel, faces charges of maintaining a place for keeping, selling controlled dangerous substance, unlawful possession of CDS - methamphetamine, and unlawful possession of CDS - xanax. All three charges carry after former conviction penalty enhancements. Gabel was released from jail on a medical personal recognizance bond following his court appearance.

If you applied for a job for this place run away as fast as you can. Anyone who still works there are pretty much the lowest *** on earth.

Where is the article on Jon Gabel's drug arrest? I can't seem to find anything, anywhere.

Do you have a link to where you got that info?

Joonbug is a horribly corrupt company. I can't believe they haven't been shut down!

For three years I sold tickets for them on a consignment basis. They did not pay me for the sales I made and always changed the topic or acted sheepish and confused when I confronted them about it. Avoid them at ALL COSTS as a buyer and seller.

this place is a mess between the owner and his wife I dont know who is more crazy this place needs to be shut down they are a slave camp for kids out of college who dont know better and quit in 30 days or less
