Pros

Lots of Jewish Holidays off Compensation higher than most similar jobs within the industry Decent health/dental benefits

Cons

Have you ever wanted a job where you felt like a child? One where you have to let management know of your bathroom breaks and that you're constantly trained that the customers and management is always right and to treat them with respect while your opinions are completely disregarded. How about a position where it's far better to call out sick than to clock in at 9:01 as that makes you a delinquent worthy of disciplinary action? Then I have an opportunity for you! But wait there's more! You'll get the chance to see the glass ceiling up close as the chance of career advancement is near impossible, unless of course you have the right religious affiliation. Do you like the idea of fighting with management to be able to use your vacation days when you want them or to simply buy something in the store on your day off? Those are journeys you won't soon forget. Just take their advice and use the employee purchase website (only available on work computers) and have the purchase shipped to your home. Not home to recieve the package because you're at work? Should have thought of that before making a purchase. With this position you'll also get an abundance of wonderlust along with your fellow employees. Wonder on how long and hard you have to work to gain your freedom by leaving the company. Working on phone sales rather than in the store? Well make sure you don't attach personal items to your cubicle walls or use your personal phone for any purpose between sales calls as they are watching your every move. Don't worry, you'll get all of this even if you're able to get a position elsewhere in the company, no matter where you are you'll get this wonderful sense that you are nothing but your employee number. But don't forget, you're lucky to have a job in this economy so just put a smile on your face (start using substances if that gets you through the week) and bear it as you now get to say you work for the worlds largest and best photography store.

Pros

Some nice co-workers across different departments They only hire because people keep leaving.. so if you need a job to fill a role they have, they will take you to fill a position.

Cons

-Extreme workload and high expectations for little pay. -PTO has to be used for a Jewish holiday if you want to get paid. They give you a mousepad showing if you will get paid on certain days. You work all year long and regular employees only get 1 day for Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years. -Micromanagement and consent surveillance. You are tracked on the computer and how long you stay in a program or if you are away from your desk for too long it will get flagged. -They hired a new company from the outside to monitor you as well to the point where you can't use your phone. They want to give you a flip phone. -Very toxic management and HR staff... very unfair and will give you zero give if you need to work from home.. they will tell you use your PTO. -Zero career growth whatsoever, everyone. -Favoritism gets you higher up in the company. -Very behind in tech & software on the corporate side but they want to have the latest for the vendors. -High revolving door, very churn & burn mentality. -End to WFH on Fridays... You will only be coming in for 4 hours... tough if you are traveling from far away... -Zero culture and no work-life balance
