Warning: Group Job Interviews - Photogenic Profiles people @ Group Interviews

Job fair attendee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

THERE ARE NO GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS COMPANY

Cons

They profile people @ Group Job fairs. I went to a group job fair and thought I had apretty good chance. But I didn't get selected. They picked out 5 or 6 people they liked better than everyone and despite my experience and photog skills they didnt bother with me. Maybe because I didn't have the Celeb style look, but everything shouldnt be about looks. It should be about your skills. ANyway I wontbe applying to Photogenic in the fuutre or wasting my time with their profiling job fairs. They seem to pick out certain types of people they like mostly 20 year old hip college students.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible hours. Meet different ppl (workers and tourists). If you are into the whole "have lots of fun and meet people at my summer job," you will get to know a lot of young high school/college kids. Fast paced.

Cons

low pay. no overtime pay even if going over overtime or working on holidays. management really really stress on sales. There are stories out there that the owner can be rude to employees.
