Pros

Great place to begin career as a photographer. You will have opportunity to photograph hundreds of people. Can move into studio portrait photography, sports or event photography, or become a trainer. Great job for someone with very reliable transportation, who is energetic, responsible, and an early riser. if you love people and photography, this is a great opportunity to get into the field.

Cons

Early rise required (4:00 -5 am) to get to the schools (which can be an hour or more away sometimes) by 6 or 7 am for an hour set up before photographing from 7 or 8 am to about 3 pm. Then an hour break down of equipment at end of day. You must enjoy working with people, be calm when there is a line of sometimes hundreds of kids waiting for photos to be taken. You may be required to carry photo equipment in your car for the season.

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 -Outdated Photography equipment.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.
