Pros

Getting to make memories for families that will last forever. It was fun seeing the same children come in for portraits as they grew. It was nice doing something creative and getting paid for it.

Cons

Never having anyone there to help me during the busy times and holidays. Management's disregard for the opinions of their photographers. Website that allowed guests to schedule appointments every ten minutes which created upset guests at the studios. Very low pay. Being let go when they closed 266 Olan Mills studios after we worked feverishly for them during the holidays.

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 -Outdated Photography equipment.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.
