Terrible failing company

Business Outlook

Pros

Team mates got along well

Cons

Stay away. Multiple layoffs every year no one is safe. They closed down multiple warehouses and are sellling/have sold some businesses under them like BorrowLenses. They don’t care about you. Management in the corporate level does not care. No clear communication from the top. Don’t work for this company, everyone has an expiration date and the company won’t survive.

Business Outlook

Pros

Every day is different and you get to engage with all sorts of different people and help them feel confident being in front of the camera.

Cons

The Shutterfly / Lifetouch management structure is a mess and they don't respect the time and work of the studio managers or photographers that are actually client-facing and providing customer service solutions on a daily basis despite lack of support from management.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company seemed like it really wanted to learn and grow about where the employees felt the shortcomings were

Cons

I was soft promoted and went from being a retoucher to being a team lead and having trained a whole team and leading them with no pay increase. I had to put in my notice to get a pay bump.
