Pros

coworkers are nice, coffee is decent, tampons and pads provided in the ladies room

Cons

THIS PLACE IS A LITERAL SWEATSHOP...disguised as a fun, fashion photography gig...if you want a leg up in the a fashion industry this place is not it. You literally stand in one spot in your little cubicle studio and click a button to take a picture around 500 times...and basically break your back lifting and styling a mannequin for almost 9 hours then to get only a 30 minute break and two ten minute breaks. This job is exhausting and solely based on a quota system...if you cant shoot 150 items a day your two second away from being terminated with barely any time to prove yourself. so ill say it again DONT EVEN BOTHER!!!!!!!

Pros

The other people I met working at entry level

Cons

Everything else! The toxic workplace culture, being beholden to a quota, managers with no experience in the field practically babysitting you and watching your every move, 30 minute breaks during an 8 hour shift, the constant changing of policies, high turnover rate, an atmosphere of quantity over quality.
