Pros

Working as a student photographer, I was given lots of creative freedom, experiential learning opportunities, and opportunity for networking too. I was able to use some amazing equipment too, which was helpful when I got a nice camera later and knew how to use it.

Cons

I'd say the biggest con is that they refused to pay for any more than 1 hour of editing, regardless of how much time you took to make their photos look good. They also paid only $15/hr, which is a super undercut for how much a professional photographer would earn- made me feel a bit taken advantage of when paired with the refusal to pay for editing time. If you care about the quality of your work you're going to spend more than 1 hour editing.

Pros

Stable/predictable. Upon completing onboarding managing caseload is straightforward with a simple cadance to work.

Cons

Performance gets additional work with no compensation, metrics only used to penalize not reward. Management style is poor and seems to exist solely to isolate workers into very tiny pools of interactions. No meaningful feedback loop, with vital information getting outright ignored for long periods until it balloons into larger problems. While individuals can be exceptional the structure prevents meaningful communication between departments. Decisions will go live with no communication and expectations that others clean up messes from changes no one knew was coming. With the students being the ones to suffer the worst consequences.
