Pros

Talented photographers... Until Lifetouch sucks all drive and creativity out of them

Cons

If I could give less than one star on this review I would. Management was awful. Long days, sometimes up to 12 hours on your feet, sometimes you get a break, often you do not. They don't care about quality, only quantity. The no compete prevents you from any freelance work even after you are no longer employed with them (12 months from end date), as Lifetouch has their hands in every type of photography imaginable (unless you want to shoot porn, which is where they draw the line) Benefits are expensive and awful, even if you manage to qualify for them (which is made impossible to anyone that isn't management by strict enforcement of hour restrictions.

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 -Outdated Photography equipment.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.
