Pros

You get to see the sunrise almost every morning, you also see some beautiful areas. Most staff are fantastic this year in our territory. You make good money in the beginning of the season with all the overtime. They don't fight unemplyment.

Cons

Lifetouch offers you a raise and then hires new employees at same rate. It no longer feels like a raise more like a slap in the face. Most arrive times at school's are before 7am as we need to be set up and ready to take photos before school starts so if your school destination is 3 hours away you need to leave your house by 4am. Allot of people quit because of this. Towards the end of a season your paycheck is under half of what it was in the beginning of the season and then your layed off.

Pros

Strong since of community at local level, and support from Directors and regional managers however all that support is no longer employed.

Cons

Revolving CEO lead to new strategic focus every 3 years. Round after round of layoffs, mergers, restructures. I went through no less than 6 during my 5 years as a senior manager. Lost local control, and ability to build relationships with accounts. Closed offices based on lease agreements rather than area performance. I would be very careful to ask questions about culture, and tenure of staff, ask how many offices were closed or restructures have happened since Shutterfly, and then Apollo Global Capital. Apollo Global Management usually holds onto assets for 3-5 years, we are past that mark so I would be expecting that they will be breaking up Shutterfly in the near future if it is no longer profitable.
