Lifetouch reviews

No raise since I was hired! They pile on more and more work yet don't compensate you for it. They actually reduce your hours even more, lay you off or put you on furlough so you can't even receive your holiday pay that you are supposed to receive.

I could go on and on about all the cons of working at a Lifetouch studio, but I'll sum it up into a few main points: -Underpaid and overworked Lifetouch expects the WORLD out of its workers, all for eight bucks an hour. -On-call shifts 99% of the time you will be on-call. And by the way, you don't get to find out if you're working until the night before or sometimes the day of. Forget making plans with people. Lifetouch expects you to wait by the phone to see if you will be working or not. -Not allowed to request days off during Christmas season Enough said about that one. -Not a photographer, a salesperson If sales is your thing, then go for this job. If you don't like being told to manipulate people into buying stuff, this is not the job for you. -Having to do "three layers" If you work at the studio, you might feel the same way I do about those three layers. "Let's take a bunch of unnecessary photos just to get that third layer, even though we're already an hour behind because we book our appointments 10 minutes apart". -Not a studio, a factory Appointments are booked 10 minutes apart because Lifetouch doesn't care about taking time with each appointment and making each guest feel truly valued. All they care about is the money. Sessions in the camera room are to be 10 minutes max. Excuse me? We're working with KIDS for crying out loud. There are so many more cons, but I'll leave it there. If you're looking into a job at a Lifetouch studio, you'll just have to see for yourself.
