Pros

Photography is rewarding, I love watching children grow up... there are a lot of truly passionate people that work with the company.

Cons

They hire people outside of the company that have no idea what photography is and expect them to help us as managers run our studios. They have no care for your family even though we are a company that makes memories for family. We are overworked and forced to abide by a RIDICULOUS labor model that is not capable of supporting the RIDICULOUS ten minute appointments that both the staff and our guests HATE. We're managers and you say its our business, but it's not treated like that at all. They think it increases profit, when really it just makes people feel like they are worth nothing and cause us as managers to be degraded and yelled at for a period of 2 months out of the year when we are supposed to be happy and spending time with our own families, but by the time we are leaving work, we're too exhausted to move. They change our books constantly making it hard to manage when we are opening and try to keep up with Sears as far as letting people book during the day - HEADS UP CORPORATE, SEARS IS STAFFED TWO PEOPLE ALL DAY! The company loves to act like they care about us as studio managers, but they do nothing to show it. The job sucks and DEFINITELY is not worth the money. Corporate does a lot of things they think are helping business, but instead they're hurting it. There's no room to move up in the company and they go on and on about ESOP but the company is sinking and there's not going to be any ESOP left. If I didn't love photography so much, I wouldn't put up with the crap they put their employees through.

Pros

It is a great place to work if you know where you are going

Cons

Very specialized with limited product portfolio hence limited scope to try new things. Open to new ideas though.

Pros

I learned a lot about posing people and new lighting technics. It is nice to work without direct supervising.

Cons

The pay is not enough. It is 100% commission, so sometimes it is a lot, but most of the time you work practically for close to nothing.
