You pay to go to work and deal with a micromanaging boss - Photographer Full Package Media Employee Review

FPM has the best management team I've ever worked with. Tara is the most genuine, helpful, caring, and understanding leader I've ever had. She not only helped me focus on getting better at the job I was doing, but she also helped to give me the skills I need to improve myself for future careers as well! The rest of the team was wonderful to work with as well, and it quickly became more like a work family than a usual job. The whole team was friendly, helpful, caring, and supportive with everything. The environment is also very refreshing and fun, and I was able to stand up while taking phone calls (which was a helpful tip I learned while working here, that helped with my confidence and energy while on calls). The hours were reasonably flexible too, as long as I gave enough notice if I needed time off (at least two weeks in advance). The work itself was very fun, engaging, and rewarding. Another pro was that I received a small commission when selling certain products, which was very easy to do since I believed in the products we sold! Full Package Media truly is the BEST real estate photography company in DFW, and it was exciting to be able to speak to it while talking to customers.

The only con would be that there aren't any benefits for full-timers (yet!), but they made it very clear when I was hired that it would be in the near future. This company is growing and making some exciting strides, so I know it's on their list of what's to come.

A few of the other photographers are nice

Poor management, culture, no benefits, and lots of wear and tear on your vehicle Photographer/Sales Associate (Former Employee), Dallas-Fort Worth, TX – August 28, 2024 This job is like carpet cleaning or any other basic in-home service. You are expected to photograph homes quickly then demand and watch the client give the company a forced google review. A lot of red flags along the way and it is not your imagination. When you search for Full Package Media, you won’t find an address listed. This is because the owner plans to expand into different cities and have clients review the work as if it were completed locally, even though this is not the case. The office, or small suite, is actually in a WeWork type facility and all of the equipment and six in-office workers are packed into an office built for a single person, while the owner drives a cyber truck. The owners and management are dishonest and attempt to sell you on the job. Something they boast is that they provide camera equipment for the job, well, any job provides equipment in order to actually do the job. Tolls and gas are on you as well as the hundreds of miles you will put on your vehicle every week. They hold mass interviews with 50+ and hire young people they believe to be naive because they would rather deal with high turnover. Bottom line is that the owners want to get rich off of you. If you are in a tight spot and must take the job only give about 40%, expect nothing, and protect yourself.
