      Pros

      This is a great entry-level job for anyone aspiring to be a portrait or events photographer. You will receive training in specific lighting set-up, and learn to pose clients for portraits. You may also get a chance to do editing and photograph at proms and sporting events. To do this you need to be very responsible, show up ON TIME for your assignment.

      Cons

      You will often need to show up at schools at 6 am to set-up your equipment so you can be ready to photograph at 7:00 am. It takes about an hour to set up. You will need to carry equipment in your car, or keep at LifeTouch's site, drive there to get equipment, then drive to the school. You need to be ON TIME and have a reliable car. Learn to work as a TEAM and you will be OK.

      Pros

      Strong since of community at local level, and support from Directors and regional managers however all that support is no longer employed.

      Cons

      Revolving CEO lead to new strategic focus every 3 years. Round after round of layoffs, mergers, restructures. I went through no less than 6 during my 5 years as a senior manager. Lost local control, and ability to build relationships with accounts. Closed offices based on lease agreements rather than area performance. I would be very careful to ask questions about culture, and tenure of staff, ask how many offices were closed or restructures have happened since Shutterfly, and then Apollo Global Capital. Apollo Global Management usually holds onto assets for 3-5 years, we are past that mark so I would be expecting that they will be breaking up Shutterfly in the near future if it is no longer profitable.
