Pros

If you like to travel & photograph new places then this job is great. A great place to start upping your game on portraiture photography.

Cons

The pay is 100%commissioned based. Expect to have a lot of down time & collecting unemployment. Your pay is solely relied upon the outside rep. bringing in new business.The company is old school with the issues that never seem to be resolved. Your travel expenses are paid for but you have to fork up the money for hotel, gas, and food initially. Your schedule is subject to change week to week.

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.
