Micromanagement can only be tolerated for so long.

Pros

If you are interested in this type of business (cards, book and photos) then of course this is the place for you. There are flexible working hours for people who have long commutes. There are snacks available. Product discounts, photography, and more.

Cons

- Micro managers are abundant and demoralizing. - Employees have no power over their own work, yet they are scapegoated. - People are often overloaded with work and unnecessary fire drills. - Panic and pressure understandably cause mistakes and shoddy work that gets people shamed, blamed and fired. - Management is top-down, highly political and there is little fair opportunity for growth. - People are rewarded for working long hours, not for working smart. - Favored individuals are rewarded openly but the rest of the teams contributions are largely ignored. - Can't always trust coworkers because folks operate out of fear.

Pros

Good pay, supportive management, fun perks, (free catered lunches for holidays and during peak season)

Cons

Long Holiday hours with very repetitive work. You are on a quota system to get cards proofed and perfected and off to print, which is difficult if you really want to do a primo job for the customer. If you don't mind sitting in front of a computer for 70 hours a week doing the same thing over and over again, this is a great place to work.
