CADY reviews

There are more cons to this job than their are benefits. They work these kids like dogs and worse than the army. They don't allow these young professionals to consistently eat or have a break. They work 10-12 hours shifts with 15 mins to maybe eat some work poptarts or ramen. So understaffed and disorganized. People call out because the job is ran like a circus. Hours are all over the place and really no one sets you up for what it is really like. It's painted as if this is the coolest job you will ever get. Really I am not surprised by the company's hiring demographics and who they are taking advantage of. I was a fool for being excited about what their career website was hyping up. I won't ever work here again and you shouldn't unless you really need a first time job as a photographer.

Everything. Low Pay. Deceptive and Manipulative. No Job Security Even In Management. The company is losing a lot of money trying to expand across the country, and instead of making smart financial decisions, they just keep opening studios, which in turn causes them to cut costs and underpay photographers. Working there for years, I experienced so much false hope in the hands of these people. It was very often that we (photographers) worked 13+ hour shifts with no designated break, most of the time we didn’t even know this until the start of the shift so we weren’t prepared. Miss communication between the schools and the sales people were frequent and the photographers were often the person the school yelled at because we were actually there. Shifts and events sometimes get cancelled last minute and you will not get those hours back. A lot of good people at the top left because they simply knew the company was sinking. If you're looking for a job in the creative field, this is not it- it'll kill your soul.
