Pros

Working with kids, taking photos. Learning portrait photography. Everyday is different. Producing smiles and create memories. The kids saved this job honestly.

Cons

Over worked and underpaid, serious wear and tear on your car and body. Outdated system. Tons off off the clock work. Understaffed. Weekend emails, late night emails and calls. You will put in more work than you are paid for. No upward progression in the company. If you are looking for a full time work load on part time pay and you have literally nothing else going on in your life but time to dedicate to Lifetouch this job is for you. If you’re in school this job is not for you. They will literally have you not about to graduate to accommodate someone else’s absence. Students just wait, unless you take online classes. Be ready for directors with nasty attitudes that shouldn’t even be around children and be ready to take responsibility for things that you had no control over.

Pros

If you are a "go-getter" and have the ability to gather information and learn as you go, then this is the company for you. The hiring process is extensive and then you are free to shine or fail.This is a fast-paced company and you are trained extensively, but they will not hold your hand.

Cons

This company is not for everyone. If you are looking for a slow pace or easy job, run away now. Customer service is our creed and the pace is fast and crazy.
