Pros

You meet lots of great people, however, the staff changes every season due to the low return rate after layoffs. Can be a fun job if you love kids.

Cons

Horrible pay! You are laid off every summer. The equipment ruins your car. Management is extremely cheap and raises are awful. They would rather make more money for themselves instead of investing in good loyal photographers - if they increased the pay they could easily keep the good photographers around for many years instead if hiring awful ones every season. Lots of favouritism in the company as well.

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 -Outdated Photography equipment.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.
