hey did not complete enough references. That alone would lead me to believe the owner/manager had a few screws loose - and needed to come up with more money than they deserved. Knowing what I know about agencies, owners and control freaks, I'd have to suggest making a move.
But to Sandra's point - learning to make sendouts, and the activity you need to keep up - is a far cry from counting alligators or painting on them. That analagy doesn't quite relate to mastering the basics of our profession. But nice try. :)…
