It's an income -- better than nothing

Pros

1. Some nice people work there 2. It's seasonal, for most employees, so you get time off between seasons 3. Most jobs requre little effort as one does the same thing day after day and week after week

Cons

1. Pay sucks 2. The work environment reminds me of the TV show The Survivor. Lots of backstabbing and plotting. 3. Nepotism rules. 4. There is no communication from management to rank and file employees. This gives rise to all sorts of rumors and has most employees wondering how many hours they will work.

Pros

I am able to do the things that I love; photograph, work with children, meet people.

Cons

Where to start? Unless you are management your hours are very limited. Corp. goals seem to be get as much as possible from as little as possible. Every week the customer comments for my region have dozens of complaints on long waits to get in the camera room and short time once you get in there. You can get a quality session in 10 minutes IF it is one subject and they are completely cooperative. If that is not the case it is going to take longer or the pictures will be a big disappointment and the sales will reflect that. BTW the Chairman Award is a joke. The submissions that win are NOT from a 10 minute standard session. They do not reflect what we are producing on a day to day basis. The sad thing is they are what truly gifted photographers are capable of when given the time and freedom to truly express their art.

Great job, but get a second one.

Pros

If you love photography, then this job is the best. Working with people and taking pictures all day long is wonderful, although tiring.

Cons

The pay is awful. A second job is required. Only work here if you really love photography. Also, they do not hire full time, only part time. Going full time is your first promotion.
