Great Side or Summer Job

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Meeting new people, discounts at venues, making extra cash. Pick up as many shifts and rack up as much cash as you can during the "on" season while actively searching for other jobs to have by the time the "off" season comes.

Cons

Not enough money for a full-time job. Work is seasonal and employees can be sent home at any time due to lack of traffic. Those who might stay will be overwhelmed if traffic suddenly picks up. No one cares about you.

Pretty decent summer job

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people to work with, often fun sites to photograph at. Very good introduction to sales too.

Cons

Hours can be taxing depending on which photo shoots you're assigned to. Some can be late night cruises which you shouldn't expect to be home until after 11 PM.
