      Simple job, training provided and career advancement potential

      Pros

      Lifetouch is employee owned and they provide benefits after working there a certain amount of time. They provided paid training. The work is steady and easy to get overtime when you need it. Although is is seasonal, you can apply to work over the summer doing senior portraits.

      Cons

      The starting pay leaves something to be desired for all that you do. The hours can be unreliable sometimes. There is a lot of driving and although they give compensation for gas, it doesn't really cover maintenance or wear and tear on your car.

      Management is sloppy, Customers are unappreciative, Out of date technology

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You get to have fun playing with kids and creating memories that people will cherish for a lifetime. You can have flexible hours.

      Cons

      Kids can be horrible. Parents can be worse. The management is set up in a way that is not supportive of growth or learning. Often the staff is under-trained and alone. Many times I would find myself alone in the studio trying to manage a studio but not having training for that level of work. Technology doesn't just often break down, it constantly breaks down and often they take forever to fix it. Customers can be unreasonable and management will yell at you if you are not selling enough product, even though they are offering "affordable" photography. Most managers strive for a $90 sales average, yet they offer $20 packages and coupons that make photos $4 a sheet. Often the photographers and sales associates get blamed even though they sell a mass amount of product and have high customer satisfaction.

      Pros

      Good vacation, easy going office environment, great retirement (starting at 6ys). Hours are somewhere between 7 & 5. Contests! This job is great for somebody who is self motivated and likes a very busy work week. Great for detailed oriented people.

      Cons

      Must take vacation on off peak seasons only (Dec & July). 1 hr lunches.
