Machine operator lead

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunities to grow, good management, and state of the art environment. As a lead, you are given a lot of autonomy by the management.

Cons

Shifts are 12 hours and you only work 36 hours most weeks, although there are opportunities to get overtime during peak seasons.

Awful

Business Outlook

Pros

Your commute to and from could count towards your scheduled hours which was good so you get paid a lil more. Plus you were given a gas card to pay for gas as often as you needed.

Cons

Horrible work environment. The shifts were always much longer than they needed to be. Communication was poor. It looks weeks just to get your work email set up. Employee badges took just as long to receive. The 200lbs of equipment you keep in your car to and from schools were constantly breaking and they rarely fixed them. The company essentially capped the pay for everyone at 15 an hour including senior photographers with 20 years at this company. As a school photographer our shifts were twice as long as a school day for no extra pay. Shifts ranged from 10-12 hours with no guaranteed breaks or lunch breaks. Maybe if they were paying 21$ or any semblance of a living wage if would be doable but it's awful.
