Pros

Great opportunity to develop sales experience. Retirement ESOP and good insurance benefits. Good vacation and summer hours.

Cons

Workload is impossible to manage and salary and commissions are on the low end. You can easily work 50-60 hours in a week with the need to work more. Management seems to make up rules and procedures as they go along.

Pros

It's easy to feel passionate about what they do - capture precious moments and memories. Decent benefits package but no better than other mid-sized companies.

Cons

Leaders from outside the "good ol' boys" network cannot make it. The company does not ever share detailed financials or an annual report, even though the employees are owners! Executives retire and collect their retirement, but remain on the payroll as 'consultants".... trying to get things still done 'the old way".... so disgusting.

Pros

Host store discounts. I was working at a Target Portrait Studio and since I shop there all the time, the discount was good to have. Small as it is, you pretty much save the tax you'd pay.

Cons

Everything else. The pay is insulting. $7.25 for ALL those ridiculous responsibilities AND abusive customers....do tell me how minimum wage is a "competitive" salary. The Target host store I was working in actually starts their team off at $7.75 - do the math. I'm an experienced photographer, so don't tell me the low wages were due to a lack of exp. No air conditioning under those hot as heck studio lights. The training is inadequate to say the least. It's also very rushed. If I'm going to be using a 5k camera, I'd like to know exactly what I'm doing so I don't break it. Trying to get perfect pictures in 10 minutes. Having other customers waiting while the current one sits at the computer for an hour asking to see the same pictures over and over and over again...while your coworkers don't offer to help at all. No appointments? Time to walk the Target store itself and lure people in. Yeah, no. Good luck getting your paycheck when you leave. I've been gone two months and have yet to get my last check. Human Resources doesn't care at all.
