Decent Starting Point for Photographers Looking to Break In.

Photographer

Business Outlook

Pros

My coworkers were excellent, kind people. Choose your own workdays, excellent for maintaining a work/life balance. Commission pay for "Elite" photographers Diverse team; you get to meet lots of people with differing perspectives. A great way to meet talented photographers and videographers.

Cons

Early mornings and late nights. Pay is somewhat lacking, though not terrible (starts at $15/hr usually) Style guides and reviews are inconsistent, making it hard to tell what you're doing wrong or how to fix it. Senior management is, frankly, incompetent. Outwardly racist or sexist schools were completely ignored for several years. Seasonal, with basically no work from late April-early June. The photography itself? Boring. Bland. It's Shutterstock material. If you do something interesting or unique, sorry, it's not "CADY standard." Artists or creatives need not apply. The CEO doesn't even know how to handle a camera. If that's not telling, I don't know what is.

Pros

You can make lifelong friends with some of your coworkers

Cons

Corporate management is broken. You cannot rebuild culture with motivational language alone. You cannot fix structural decay with just talking about mindset. Those that did operate with the right culture and integrity- the ones who cared deeply- wore all the hats- lifted each other up- they're all gone. Some burned out but most left when the entire culture shifted under new leadership over the last 2+ years.

Pros

For the most part coworkers are polite and easy to get along with. A large emphasis on team at this corporation and many oppurtunites to network with other creatives if that's what you're into.

Cons

Deceptive marketing tactics by the company lead to many upset and angry families, and the company often leaves you as the scapegoat for these families' frustrations. At my location the turnover rate was up and down due to unsuccessful attempts to meet standards by management which often put stress on the staff as a whole. Everyone felt on edge, as if their job or career was in jeopardy.
