Pros

Great supervisors. Good way to drill the basics of portait photography. I recommend working for their other divisions as well to get more experience and hours. Gas mileage is paid out.

Cons

My main complaint is it traps you in part time purgatory. During the busy season there are more than enough hours but then it drops off a cliff. However you often need to keep your schedule open anyways just in case something opens up. So the pay can be really sparadic and low without the freedom to do much else. I balanced another part time job with this for a bit, but that honestly made it worse. I didn't get the benefits from either job and had to go through two sets of management to get time off. Especially during fall the work is monotonous but highly stressful at the same time somehow! Very early mornings.

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 -Outdated Photography equipment.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.
