      Pros

      Great field managment, entrepreneurial spirit and a chance to contribute to a "feel good" product. Lifetouch at its heart is about capturing memories, not just about portrait photography. The people are great, everyone is always willing to help their fellow employee and the company has a long history of corporate responsibilty and philanthropy.

      Cons

      The industry is shrinking and Lifetouch cannot grow through price raising alone. A history og price gouging and lack of innovation in the core product has caught up to Lifetouch and they find themselves is a difficult position. ESOP is a barrier to the necessary investment for growth and senior leaders who are close to retirement doen't want to rock the boat.

      Is it worth it?

      Pros

      You will gain a lot of experience in many different work areas. You get photography experience, sales experience, customer service experience, people skills etc. From this job you can gain experience for future management positions, photography positions and sales positions. It can be extremely rewarding. If you have a passion for photography this is a great place to start.

      Cons

      Your satisfaction will depend greatly on the specific people you work with and for. When I first started there it was with a very positive staff environment and I always left with a smile. Changes in staff and management have made it a nightmare. It is imperative that you have a passion for this job, because if you don't it is not worth it. If you are lucky your managers will be positive and encouraging and will appreciate you. But you may end up with the opposite.
