Pros

Quitting before I lost my soul.

Cons

Worst company imaginable... Managed through nepotism. Look at that overall ratings... a 2.6? Employees wouldn't recommend you work here. The CEO has a 26% approval rating. A public company would never survive, but thanks to a financial house of cards called ESOP, holding parents hostage with outdated products and excessive prices, Lifetouch will fold in10-20 years when they succumb to the market forces it fails to address.

Pros

Photography in general is fun if you have a passion for it. I love watching children and families grow. Studio management is pretty good, depending on which studio you're at. Management is pretty willing to train you on all aspects of photography to help make you better. ESOP is a huge plus!!!

Cons

Everything USED to be about the people, now not so much. There are no longer benefits for part time employees. Vacation hours were great, now they're "averaged" out. Unless you're a manger don't count on getting any hours. And now we have to sign a paper stating we understand we can be fired and any time for no reason at all. I mean really? I'm ashamed that I have given this company so much of my time and efforts for nothing!!! This company was built on values and principles and was very people driven. It was about US, it was about making sure we were taken care of. In recent years "corporate" type people were hired and it's all about the money. Do they not realize that sales and morale have gone way down since??? Hmmm, I wonder why? This is why I'm currently seeking other employment.
