Pros

Employee Stock Ownership Program, the people you work with, and making memories that people will remember for a lifetime.

Cons

The seasonality of the business is not for everyone. They are in the process of shutting down our facility, here in KC which makes us wonder about the Yearbook side of the business as a whole. Seeing the lack of a plan during this closure has been a real eye opener. Feels like the finance guys said a plant consolidation would be fiscally responsible, so they moved forward with firing everyone, with NO plan or idea what it would take and cost. They are moving our one building operation to a three building operation in Loves Park, IL. How silly to have your products miles apart from each other! As far as pay goes, I always thought I was compensated fairly, until I started job searching. I am having no issue finding a job making more money at an entry level position. ESOP was the only thing that evens out being under-paid.

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 -Outdated Photography equipment.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.
