The Worst Company I Have Ever Had The Displeasure of Working For.

Shift lead

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people you work with directly become some of your best friends. Keeps you busy. Great for summer. The host venue was absolutely incredible and were definitely the best part of working for photogenic. (Boston Location)

Cons

Higher Management is absolutely terrible. You work in rain, or shine, or scalding hot weather. Seasonal. Pay is terrible. Lots of drama within the company and nothing is sacred. Raises only happen if and when you are promoted.

Great until personal issues took over the company.

Supervisor

Business Outlook

Pros

Relatively easy work, close knit staff, pretty good pay, a great summer job for college students or people in between jobs.

Cons

Awful uniforms, customer relations can be hard because no one wants their photo taken, and the close knit staff has a tendency to cause drama and cattiness (at least in the location I worked).
