Pros

-You get experience in the studio.

Cons

-You barely get ANY scheduled hours. -On Call 90% of the time so you're basically an understudy. -Session times are terribly short, not enough time to sell or work closely with customers. -Customers are always upset that they end up spending more becayse JCP Portraits doesn't more obviously tell them on the website about how much they will be paying. -Coworkers will be at their witts end can't get a break which makes for a stressful environment.

Pros

I love photography, I loved a lot of my clients so the work itself I enjoyed Manager just above me was awesome I started in school photography prior to Covid and loved it. If you do anything for Shutterfly, would only do school photography.

Cons

These apply to the company itself and business practices, not co workers: -Inconsistent Hours -Did not respect availability schedules (even after raising concern to District management, was offered a TEMPORARY pay increase to ignore my availability and come in because not enough people were hired for holiday season) -Pay was low for how much you're expected to do which for me included an 11 hour day because they book every 15 minutes, dock us for going over time, but expect a newborn baby shoot to be done. But we are at the same time expected to keep customers happy and blamed for a shoot going low in sales. It's a baby and every family deserves good photos of their baby. Not for it to be rushed to follow quotas which definitely won't be met when people don't want to come back.
