Pros

perfect environment to learn about portrait photography and get some confidence as a photographer Never boring with so many seasons and occasions for families to get photos working with kids!!!! You´ll have some required shots but after that you are free to be creative

Cons

$ is really bad I personally didn´t like being forced to spend more time selling other photographers pictures instead of taking them myself. schedules can be hectic and hard to reconcile with your family´s schedule. (I would say is a job for young people with no kids)

Pros

Great Sales Team. Remote based position.

Cons

-Losing out to competitors has become acceptable or business as usual. -Management has become out of touch with what is going on in the field. -Outdated Photography equipment. -There is constant turnover with photographers. Difficult to keep good people when they are not paid well & have no structure. -Company is very reactionary. Making cuts seems to always be their answer to solve low profits.
