      Fast-paced & fun

      Senior portrait photographer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great learning opportunity for anyone looking to take up photography. Fast-paced, fun environment. Easy to take a day off with enough notice.

      Cons

      As a photographer, trafficker, or sessioner, you only get one half hour lunch & no 10 minute breaks. With the fast-paced atmosphere of get 'em out in 12 minutes, it's almost impossible, even though that's illegal.

      Never the Same Day Twice

      Photographer - school
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This job was always an adventure. It was fun to work with all the different students, particularly the youngest ones. If you can get used to the very early mornings, the hours are nice because you generally have a lot of the afternoon and all of the evenings for yourself. There is a nice balance between working with a team and working individually. Management was always willing to respond to questions and help support the photographers.

      Cons

      The job is much more physically demanding than you might expect. Equipment set up and transport is no small task and you spend hours, often without a break, on your feet slightly bent at a camera. Also, the morale of the other employees was often discouraging. Finally, while there is a commitment to quality, there is an equal commitment to speed and when you are always rushing, it's challenging to do your best work.

      A fast paced environment

      Retail associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I had the chance to meet families who most of the time were very happy with the way their photographs came out. The team was hard working and most exceeded expectations.

      Cons

      The wait time of appointments during the holiday season was chaotic with wait times of up to a half hour. Many parents were disappointed of this and thus created a stressful environment for the employees who had no control over it since staff was limited.
