Pros

You get good employee discounts and your coworkers love photography too

Cons

The President/Owner is consistently offensive (racist, homophobic, misogynistic). They seem to deliberately make their payroll scheme confusing so people get paid less than the Owner stated when they were hired. In other words, you probably have to speak up or you won't get paid what you thought you would. They appear destined to go out of business. They keep downsizing support staff, closing stores, and failing to provide stock for existing stores. You'll take daily calls from banks for the owner. They train new staff by throwing them into the fire and then patronizingly telling them what they did wrong. Nobody seems to want to take responsibility for any shortcomings or opportunities.

Pros

You have access to borrow all photography equipment and the employees are great to work with and are all hard workers.

Cons

The weight of a drowning business rests on your shoulders so there is a lot of extra pressure to succeed. Everything is completely unorganized from the jobs that are expected of you to new gimmicks that they try to help the company make more money. Nothing is ever thought out or successful. When trying to help create ideas to better the company, there is no follow through because egos are very large. There is no HR and should be because I have personally been told inappropriate things by the president of the company and have witnessed many racist and masogonyst comments to other employees and customers. You will be manipulated to do what he wants or "you won't get it" and will tell you that even though you don't get your promised bonuses that you work for him because "you love photography". He will make excuses not to pay you what you've earned. He has personally promised me and other employees many raises and none of us have seen them.
