Pros
Being around creatives and having a dynamic day. Exposure to photography and the process it goes into selling.
Cons
This company is a great example of deceptive practices and exploitation of team members. In the interview everything is painted about love for team, students, and staff. Pushing for incredible results and curating an awesome senior photo session. All my coworkers either have their first year or second year with this company. The people I meet who have been here for years are mentally unwell and barely getting by on rent. My day to day was needing to do the most to protect the company's image, their branding, and how they carry themselves. Photographers are overworked with no breaks, no benefits, and the most chaotic scheduling you could ever witness. The people running the studios are under pressure all the time, aren't trained, and really this job is hyped to be the best when it's not. My manager treated us like we were in elementary school and I am sure we were the same age. I wanted to work here to be exposed to more of a creative industry and I am just witnessing my young peers being exploited by low pay, insane expectations, and false lies. Truly if your only options has been fast food, this is a set up. But really do yourself a favor and keep looking.
