      Pros

      Great Employee Stock Ownership Program for retirement, Company contributes 100% of stock. Company continues to grow through acquisitions. Lifetouch is a company with heart, organizes mission trips through World Servants, provides smile safe cards to grade school kids, is a partner with the center for missing and exploited children.

      Cons

      Because it is an ESOP company, benefits and perks are very small as the company watches the bottom line closely to keep profits going into ESOP. Various divisions in Lifetouch communicate very little.

      Fun... if you don't mind being over-worked and under-paid

      Pros

      I've worked in the studios, schools, and a district office. Very stable company, bought out Olan Mills and Heriff Jones in 2012. Stock ownership. If you ever travel to corporate for training/meetings, they put you up in a very nice hotel and take good care of you. Just hope you don't go when it's snowing! Also, they were very flexible with transferring to different divisions. Studios: Easy work when it's slow. Store discount. Schools: Fun working with kids, solo work, fun meetings twice a year, photo contests, M-F. District: Great coworkers, steady 40hrs/wk, relaxed office environment, can wear jeans to work, M-F.

      Cons

      I've spoken directly with a regional manager who admitted that Lifetouch pays just enough to keep employees on board for a couple seasons before they get fed-up and quit. Studios: Very low pay and unpredictable hours. Must work weekends. Can't ask off around holidays. Schools: Long distance travel (2 of my coworkers got into accidents from falling asleep at the wheel) sick frequently, part-time seasonal work. District: Extremely overworked and underpaid for so many responsibilities.
