Lifetouch reviews

Well, I enjoy working on first shift as long as there is smooth sailing, that's not always the case. The biggest pitfall of working here is that you are only guaranteed to work 5 to 6 months and then you will be laid off for the rest of the year, unless you manage to get into a higher position. I've been working here for three years now and still don't have PTO or have gotten into a higher position. Some departments will work you like a dog during the busy season and will not consider your limitations. They will question you every day that you don't meet quota (something that they only started doing last year) and will ignore any answers you might give them, such as getting tired after doing the same thing for so long or your body starting to ache from the repetitive movements. One department is not at all ergonomic and require you to be very fast paced, quotas are set so high that just a few workers (the ones that have been in that department for a long time) will be able to reach easily. They have you sit on uncomfortable chairs in order stream, seated high up off of the ground. Submitting time off requests can become sort of a competition in the busy season. The coffee machine is down frequently, putting out only cloudy water some times. One of the men's urinals break down about once or twice a year. This will cause a problem because no more than two men can use that restroom at a time instead of three if that occurs. They only have one sink, two urinals and one handicap stall in the men's restroom, and it is the only one in the building. They have a small unisex restroom which they used space taken from the men's restroom to build The women's bathroom has plenty of stalls, several sinks, and even a sofa. Calls for overtime sometimes end up backfiring, a lot of times that ends up almost completely or even completely wiping out the work for their employees on one shift and they have to send people home. Sometimes one department will make calls to have data another do some of their work differently than they had been doing it for a while that worked so that their department will move more quickly. Often, this ends up backfiring on them and actually making them slower in the long run. Employees in authority positions in one department usually don't have very much experience, if any at all, in another yet will still make decisions without much or any input from the other. First shift has their own way of doing things and second shift will have another way. This causes unnecessary conflicts between the two shifts, usually because both shifts' ways of doing their job often creates problems for the other shift to deal with. Second shift is full of younger, more self-centered, less friendly, and more confrontational employees. One time, I made a "mistake" on second shift that they let on was a really bad issue that I could potentially be fired over, but it was something first shift had taught me to do and they said there was nothing wrong with it. When that happened, some of my coworkers on second shift began whispering to each other and acting like they were having to work really hard to keep from having an outburst at me. That specific event was mostly what drove me to first shift because they are way more friendly and understanding, I had also become depressed on seconds because I couldn't spend time with my family or doing things I enjoyed, only to spend the majority of my time with a bunch of people who could have cared less. Sometimes higher-ups will freak out about something an employee said when they have misunderstood them. I had them nearly fire me one time over a misunderstanding.

You only get hours based on appts on books, and required to only spend 15 min in the camera room with client.
