Pros

The people you work with Simplicity of the job (your just showing senior pictures and helping build photo packages)

Cons

Be prepared to sell used cars for less than McDonald’s minimum wage, oh and the commission scale is less than 1% of what you’re selling. Just think about it this way. $1799 USB and your making $50. Or better yet, an $899 USB and you only make $15!!! How?!. Logically it could at least be $25, since it’s half the price. Lol But idk, just seems like they throw senseless numbers out there. You’ll get excited for the job, but the only thing that will keep you around in the environment is if you have good people to work with. Most of what you’re going to be selling is overpriced photo packages with most of your session looking like an amateur photographer took it. Which is sometimes the case because the image control is horrendous. In which to add, most parents that won’t be able to afford it. It’s a simple job, but definitely not something you can live and pay bills off. Good for someone just graduating highschool or that is in college.

Pros

Great stepping stone to something better.

Cons

CADY appears to be led by individuals who lack a clear understanding of how to effectively run a business. The company promotes a “welcoming” culture, but in practice, it often feels performative and rooted in outdated or uncomfortable approaches. The environment within the Innovation Center is consistently tense. Teams frequently experience internal friction, and HR maintains a highly visible presence that can feel more like surveillance than support. In October 2025, Josh Cady abruptly eliminated the work-from-home policy with no transition period. This decision left many employees scrambling to adjust, particularly those who relied on remote flexibility for childcare and other responsibilities. The PTO policy is notably limited for a company of this size, and the absence of dedicated sick days only adds to employee strain. Removing remote work mid-year, while offering minimal time off, reflects a lack of consideration for employee well-being. Daily interactions can also feel forced. For example, employees are greeted each morning by HR in a way that often comes across as insincere rather than welcoming. Overall, CADY feels disorganized, undercompensates its employees, and provides minimal benefits, contributing to a challenging and unsupportive work environment.
