Pros

Get to photograph lots of interesting people and

Cons

Where to start? I was an employee with the company they bought (Sharp Shooter Imaging) once MM took over everything went to crap. They run their venues with least amount of staff possible and push the work load off on the rest of the employees. They say you get commission on the sales you make for the day but you do not get those until you hit a goal that corporate sets, which is usually high so that you do not usually get it. If you are at a busy venue the pay (between 9-10/hr) is not worth the stress. If you get offered a supervisors position do not take it. The pay raise is only, at most, a dollar and the added stress and responsibility is NOT worth that dollar. The manger I had expected you to be avilable to come in and help even on your day off and got mad if you did not. Once she decided you were no longer worth the effort you might as well turn in your notice. The work/life balance is CRAP.

Magic Memories Response

Apologies for the experience - it certainly does sound horrible from your POV. It has been challenging to change from one culture to another. Some have grabbed it and continue to soar, others have not done so well and many moved on. Things are settling in really well now - I am delighted to see 'the magic' is appearing all over the country in collaboration, ownership accountability and fun. John Wikstrom - Founder
