Well I've worked for IGallery and FD and there are pros and cons to both. If you're trying to build your career I would say join the big dog and build your rep before going some unknown as an unknown.Comment

In my experience, the larger the company...the more you become just another faceless number, no matter how hard you work. I recall a movie scene where a guy walks in to his boss's office on the day of his retirement after working there for decades...and the boss calls him by the wrong name.
When I look back over my (nearly) 30 years of work experience, my best memories are of the smaller, more personable companies I've worked for. They were always my best learning experiences, too.
But that said, quite often when you're married with children and saddled with all the related financial responsibilities - you don't always have a lot of choice. You do whatever it takes to keep the roof over their heads and the school supplies in their knapsacks.
As Mel Gibson's character says in 'The Patriot' - "I'm a parent. I don't have the luxury of principles."
But given different circumstances and the freedom of choice, self-employment would be my numero uno option. Failing that, I'd go with a smaller company over a large one.Comment

I'd work for less for the smaller company if I liked the owners, rather than more money for the 'big' guys...and I know you didn't ask that. Dunno why, I always like to support the underdog...
Money's not important, as long as it's enough..like not so I have to struggle by...and I'm off.Comment

Great question. The nice thing about where I am right now ... is that I don't have to do a whole lot and I still make decent money. I love investing in new projects though, so as long as I could still do side gigs... I would definately go for name over $$. I have enough money... but if I could legitimize myself through a husterl, vivid, playboy... I would certainly consider dabbling in that... and paying somebody else to run dormbucksComment

Originally posted by BVFIt depends on how up and coming the small company was...Plus if it's a smaller company, I would want some kind of percentage since I helped build the program since there would be more growth potential.
If I didn't want the actual owners in the same room as me and I just wanted a job, I'd go work for Playboy. Plus just SAYING that you work for Playboy will open up other doors for you..If nothing else, some extra side pussy. But in the end, it would be worthless working for Playboy if you never got to know or even meet Hef. Just a PICTURE of you standing next to Hef would be a windfall for ones credibility...I wouldn't work there and show up at a function and the bigwigs didn't even know I work for them unless I told them.
But most people who are now used to getting this porn money on their own would probably pick neither....I just can't see myself working for anybody, even if it's in the porn biz..It's unnatural.
But the ONLY position that I wouldn't immediately turn down would be an offer from Playboy or Hustler....I would work for Playboy for a year or two max just for the experience and the connections...Same with Hustler.
That post is stupid on so many levels I don't even know where to begin.

I would not work for either. I would keep doing what I am doing for myself.
But to answer your question, smaller company and the more money. Two reasons, I prefer small companies over bigger, and I would take the extra money to reinvest in someothing else.
That's just how I roll.

different players get paid different salaries on different teams.Originally posted by CuriousToyBoyI will only work for someone if they pay me what I am worth.
I am now working for a boss for the first time in 15 years.
I will NEVER compromise myself.

perceived value.
franchise players are worth their weight in gold.
you get what you pay for.
any more?
money talks, unless the perk package outweighs the 25k lost. i could give a rats what the name is on the vacuum cleaner as long as that motherfucker sells door to door, its on at the highest salary.

Your question is to say that the *ONLY* difference is salary? Assuming benefits are identical, potential advancement is identical, everything is exactly the same except company name recognition and salary?
I see no reason to change unless there is more involved than merely bragging rights. Bragging rights dont pay the rent. Not even a hard choice!

I look at a few other things:
1) Reputation of the company
2) Reputation of how they treat their employees
3) Money
4) Potential for growth - position, commission, bonuses, benefits
5) Likelihood of implementation of ideas/speed of carrying things out (based on info/feedback/past history)
Money is good, but there's a whole other load of things that can piss me off and unmotivate me. I have to love my job to do it well - so money alone or popularity alone doesn't really do it.Comment

Small or big shouldn't be the issue, which is the better company? Which as better products. Thats what you should be looking at. I'd rather work for a small shop any day of the week personally.SEO Strategy - Digital Strategy - Cannabis Lead Generation

I never will work for someone else, but if you put a gun to my head and made me choose between those options........ well I'll let you pull the trigger

Neither. I am making more already working for myself, plus I can wake up whenever I want, why would I want to work for someone else? Plus to be honest I'm not really interested in high profile or cool parties AT ALL ( I wouldn't go to a party even if I was paid for it, I'm basically a homebody) or getting ass (I'm female) and don't like to socialize too much either.
I much prefer working for myself from the comfort of my own. Why would I take a paycut to work for someone else and have more pressure and stress and a set schedule to follow? It's really not worth it to me at all. My health insurance is just $200 a month plus I can invest in my own 401k. I'm not gonna work for someone else just because of the benefits.
The way my business is I don't really need to network much to make more. It all depends on just me and myself, and also networking for me is stressful, not fun!Last edited by jackie1; 04-07-2006, 06:53 AM.Comment

guess again - Hustler/Flynt is infamous for its cheapness and cost cutting - tons of employees tossed overboard, they no longer are buying much new photography for their magazines. Playboy also not known for its largesse, it's cable channel is non-SAG - VIVID - they'd like you to believe that VIVID Girls are royalty and paid like it -some are - the average VIVID Girl contract according to an LA Time investigative reporter are about $45-60K a year - a video editor at VIVID makes $15 an hour.Originally posted by DrinkingHARDEST
P.S. BTW NONE of the companies I named above are cheap in regards to paying their employees. (at least I have never heard anyone complain). I used them because they are some of the biggest, best and most well known companies in adult.
All that glitters isn't gold - the Walt Disney companies are notoriously cheap.I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!Comment

Mutual Respect is one of the main things for me what its all about! If for some stupid reason someone would offer me 6x amount of what I make right now....... still I wouldnt even think about leaving hahaha
Money Means Shit To Me!

NO WAY!!!
I would definitely take the bigger company. Have you heard of job security? The small company may be here today, gone tomorrow.
So give me the bigger company with the smaller salary, but the security and the benefits! ;)Comment

this is not a slight to Playboy, but the size of the company often has very little to do with job security unless the worker is pretty high up in the corporate ladder.Originally posted by czarinaNO WAY!!!

How many people has General Motors been laying off/firing lately? I'm sure their top execs aren't going anywhere but there are plenty of laborers and middle management getting the axe.

Let's say hahaha is paying you 100k a year, and Traffic Cash Gold offers you a job for 600k you aren't going to take it.Comment

Originally posted by DrinkingHARDESTIf you were offered say $100,000 a year to come work for small company XYZ.com and then you had an offer for $75,000 a year to go work for a huge adult company like Playboy/Hustler/Vivid/Homegrown.
Would you take the job that pays less that everyone recognizes and admires? Or just take the job with the company that is lesser known and pays better?
What would you do?

exactlly.. besides that 25% is a big deal IMO..In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment

I always tell people it is about taking a step back and looking at what is IMPORTANT over what is IMPRESSIVE.
Sure working for a large well branded company can have it's benefits. But in the long run the fact of the matter is that providing better for your family and for yourself.
I personally would take the money. But that would also come with several factors. The company I would have to know was stable and had growth potential. Last thing I would want to do was give up a position that paid less but in the long run I would make more due to the growth potential.
I work for Playboy now, but 5 years ago when I first came on board with ICS there were only about 8 employees and we didn't run but a small portion of the things we run today. At the time I actually took less money than I was making at another company because I saw huge potential.
A gamble for sure, but for me it was calculated and it paid off.No OneComment

Well sure if there are unknown benefits or potential advancements and perqs and all sorts of things unknown, it could change everything. But there's no way to answer it in that case except to say "it depends".43-922-863 Shut up and play your guitar.

that's what disney does. . . gets everyone dirt cheap 'cause it's disney . . oddly enough my bills didn't go down when I worked for disney . .
so do you work for $$ or to be popular? that would be the real question I suppose . . .
I had to realize that I work for $$$ . . and I'm not popular, not ever gonna be popular . . however I do pay all my bills, ontime and I have great relations with my clients . .
so why would I take a cut in pay? for a $120 crew jacket? got 20 of 'em stroage already . . .Comment
