Pros

Friendly Company, Great Opportunity to get into Photography, Creative Freedom. Company loves photography and keeps guests (clients) needs high on list, fun environment, best competitve pricing around, keeping current with trends.

Cons

Too strict Labor Model to follow that leaves studio short staffed, Manager is not only manager but photographer, secretary, salesperson, cleaning crew, technician etc. Too much staff turnaround, too little pay for staff under manager, no hours for staff other than manager, some pricing on products too low to meet budget needs, not enough Field Manager support, or corporate support.

Pros

Coworkers were always friendly and great to work with. Insurance was great.

Cons

Literally everything else. Company makes major changes every few months, firing managers across the country without replacements. Did not fire a sales rep who was committing felony fraud but fired small employees with false information. Company is 90 years old but refuses to make basic improvements. Nowhere to move up and bonus is rigged.
