Barely adequate side hustle... if you get paid. So far I have not. - Photographer SmartShoot Employee Review

Pros

There is work available. The pay is low, but the shoots tend to be very low end and therefore very easy if you know what you're doing.

Cons

Scheduling shoots takes up more time than it should, partly because the clients don't seem to know what's involved half the time. The pay rate is low. SmartShoot pays four weeks after approving the shoot... in theory. I have not yet gotten paid for the shoots I've done recently, even though I was scheduled to receive a payment more than a week ago. Accounting claimed to have resolved the issue and told me that I would get paid Friday (one week late), which also did not happen. Accounting has not been responsive since. Not recommended.

Pros

Easy to find a client

Cons

Smart Shoot is arguably the worst at communication. The employees are rude to the photographers and never help when we have questions. They constantly screw over the photographers financially and are NEVER available to help even though they send a message for every client project saying to call if we have an issue. They do not respond or call back in a timely fashion, if at all. No matter how professional I keep it they always have a less than professional and sometimes borderline inappropriate responses. They lie and do not listen or read your messages then reply with an unhelpful answer, ignoring all the important things you mention or ask. They just care about getting money for themselves and do not care whether their employees are paid or taken care of.
