There’s not enough room here. Hired under false pretenses. Told the schedule was 40 hours a week. Turned out to be ENDLESS hours per week, a “work until it’s done” policy. 60, 70 hours a week. Every week. You will never work 40 hours a week. Even with a day of PTO, you’ll put in 50+ hours. You will work from 7 AM till 12 AM. The company deliberately assigns low metrics to your assignments, forcing you to have to work like a dog doing two weeks of work in one to meet your weekly goals. Week after week you drag on, hoping not to fall short but the company sets you up to fail by asking for a ridiculous amount of work in an impractical time frame. You’re treated like a contractor, not an employee. The photographers have been begging for relief for years, and what did the management do? They increased the expectation of work by over 30%. So now instead of working 60 hours a week minimum you’ll be working 70. You’ll burn through your PTO just trying to stay ahead, working on your days off. There’s a ton of extra BS menial tedium associated with your photography duties that the corporate dumbaxxes have come up with to make things unnecessarily complicated and add hours to your days. They continually add more duties and responsibilities without giving credit- saying “oh this will only take 30 minutes… “ But they’ve added so many small things they equate to hours spent and you will do it for no credit towards your work week. Unless your a soulless corporate robot, you will rather stick forks in your eyes than work here. They will offer good pay to offset their terrible reputation of being a toxic workplace and extra high turnover. And even better, if you devote yourself and your life to them, and work there for 18 years, guess how they reward you? They fire you and hire a college kid for half your pay. So that’s what you have to look forward to for your hard work. There’s no opportunity to be found here other than massive aggravation, a broken soul and a paycheck. Run. Away.
