Pros

Yay! Work with kids, take pictures. What could be wrong with that? Right?

Cons

Pay is barely above minimum wage. You will use your own car. By the end of the season you will have no money saved, and your car will be destroyed. This has to be the biggest clown shown on earth. People who have never taken a photograph before are thrown out into schools with little/no training. Support is awful. Supervisors who don’t know what they are doing push photographers to work fast, instead of letting them get good at the job, then get faster. The office staff is either overwhelmed, or not particularly competent. Information needed to do your job (like class files) aren’t provided on time. Getting supplies, equipment, or information is like pulling teeth. Heaven help you if there is ever a mistake on your pay or expenses. There is no future in this company unless you drink the koolaid.
