Pros
The people you get to work with are awesome. The majority (but definitely not all) of the people in the studios are hard-working and great to be around. A lot of the photographers become best friends. You also learn a lot in a short period of time so your skills will grow professionally.
Cons
You learn a lot because you will probably be thrown into the fire right away. The pay is NOT at all where it should be for the amount of work you will do. The biggest issue is that it is totally feast or famine. There are no provisions given or care shown to employees during slow seasons. You will work 60 hours a week for a few months then 0 hours for the rest of the year. The lack of work-life balance is what drove me away from this job. Organization from corporate needs A LOT of improvement. many, many times a decision was made last minute that the photography department just had to figure out how to make happen. Changes were made company-wide without enough prep or training or structure. They are growing way too fast to keep up with. I feel like this is a company that tries to pretend like they care about taking care of employees but then doesn't follow through.
