Pros

Gem of a company to work for! Everyone is dedicated to see the company grow and be successful which is an inspiring environment to walk into everyday. The company is continuing to grow so excited to see the potential of growing within my career at a company that I believe in and the snacks help too! :)

Cons

Start-up growing pains but I don't look at it as a con more of an exciting thing of what is to come!!

Pros

If you want to do a mindless job involving ZERO creativity or photographic skill this is the job for you. Don't let the "perks" trick you, still isn't worth it

Cons

A ridiculously low hourly wage No room for upward movement Poor communication Mandatory overtime every month Full day of manual labor Poorly managed new employee training process Dirty/Dusty studio that is never professionally cleaned A management team of incompetent and immature people Very high employee turnover Treated like factory worker instead of photographer

I am sorry to see your concerns, and invite you to bring them up to us directly so we can dig into this more. I agree, all managers should have training and we do that. We do need to take responsibility for problems, as you say and we do need to support all employees. Beth Head of HR
