Pros

You meet lots of great people, however, the staff changes every season due to the low return rate after layoffs. Can be a fun job if you love kids.

Cons

Horrible pay! You are laid off every summer. The equipment ruins your car. Management is extremely cheap and raises are awful. They would rather make more money for themselves instead of investing in good loyal photographers - if they increased the pay they could easily keep the good photographers around for many years instead if hiring awful ones every season. Lots of favouritism in the company as well.

Pros

Working with babies and young children all day. Sales are easy if you are in an area with good economic growth. You can work at more than one studio for extra hours if you don't mind driving extra.

Cons

Hours are never steady and change drastically throughout the year. Ratings are based on how much you make per sale, which may be out of your control due to the need to pull in random customers who are not prepared to spend much. You may be forced to work alone, which requires always you to complete all studio functions without delay (answering phone calls, shooting sessions, greetings customers, booking appointments, selling photographs...). Some studios were less professional than others, with drama happening often.
