Pros
If you are interested ONLY in camera time and don't care to make any money,this might be for you.
Cons
Where to begin...... The marketing strategy is to lure Churches into accepting the offer of a FREE Directory of the congregation as well as a FREE 8x10 of their directory pose.When you are done taking the photos,it is your position to change hats from photographer to salesperson.Let the fun begin. This is a strictly commission based position.Commission is based on total number of sits (guests) per day and formulated with some bizzarre computaions. Guests per day average about 10+ per photographer.Average sales are usually very poor,sometimes I make less than $30.00/day.My last paycheck was 267.00 for TWO weeks! Trying to share the "WOW" experience with guests is very frustrating when their standard reply is usually..."Oh,we just had pictures done" or "My Son/Daughter is a photographer and they take our pictures" and on and on and on.People don't have the extra money for photos.Many like them,but simply can't afford the,thus they opt for the FREE 8x10. Their print prices are high...$25.00 for a standard 8X10,plus $9.95 shipping PLUS tax! The expense package is a joke. .25/mile and $65/day for motel and food.100's of mile on my car every week,certainly is adding up the >.25/mile. I would not recommend working for them. They cannot keep people and they don't care.
