Pros
Hours- As a part time employee, my hours are decent. I get Tuesday and Wednesday off and I work around 24 hours a week. Photography- Although being extremely limited in what you can do, there is still a lot of creative freedom in the way that you pose your clients. This isn't always the case though and if we had more training maybe I could've figured it out. JCPenney- The JCPenney managers and employees were always willing to help me when my manager wasn't. The JCPenney break room and location were also nice.
Cons
Lack of training- I had about three weeks of training, one of those weeks being computer based training. Lack of staffing- I rarely worked with my coworker and the manager left the third week of training. I was left to figure everything out on my own and the corporate company would get upset at me for things that I was never told about. Often times I would be swamped with 8-10 sessions and when I would ask for help it would be denied as they only wanted one person on the clock at a time. Underpaid- I was promised $15 an hour starting, I was paid $12.50-$13.50 an hour, it varied between paychecks. The company wants you to sell media bundles, the high priced package and they offer commission on it. Unfortunately, you only get $5 of the $350 bundle. It's really not worth it to bully the customers into buying the bundle for $5.
