Pros

Work from home. Almost as if you are an independent contractor running your own small business. Sales materials are very professional.

Cons

Very little support, and standards for sales team is vastly different from corp. No sick days, and commission plans seam to change on the drop of a dime when you are due a pay increase.

Pros

Flexible schedule. Always working in Churches, generally a nicer group of people for sales. If you can learn a script and know what a good portrait is, you can almost sell this in your sleep. At the end of the day, there was nothing else to worry about. Great ESOP plan. Easy to move to other locations. Can earn over $200 per day. You do not need to find leads, you get 6 to 20 per day, all at one location, they come to you.

Cons

Required to travel up to 80 miles in own vehicle and not gas pay. Sometime job was located to far to drive every day, so a motel was needed. Company pays very little towards those expenses. Work hours were generally from 1pm to 11pm but often much shorter. Straight commission. Might spend $20 in gas and earn nothing for the day.

Pros

I can work in my field

Cons

Underpays employees for the hard work Employees are forced to work alone with appointments forty minutes apart Management focuses on weaknesses and rarely rewards strengths Employees are expected to have an $80 sales average but have coupons for $7.99 packages and $3.99 sheets. Thus making it extremely hard to attain the wanted sales average. Lots of turnover so many employees do not know what they are doing or ever care if they do a good job. Therefore my studio has many angry customers due to frequent laziness. We are expected to solicit guests in the mall to come into our studio which usually gets one walk in for every hour an employee is soliciting and makes many frequent mall goes hate the studio. We are required to make telemarketing calls to past customers which only results in one sit for every 50-75 calls in my studio. Employees must have "on call" days which can vary from once a week to seven days a week. We are not paid for these "on call" shift either and the manger can call employees at any time during that shift and make them come in. Overall this job is seriously not worth it. I am planning on finding another studio to work for that actually appreciates its employees.
