Pros

-The most advanced photography training you will receive. The owner is a third (?) generation photographer and has been in the industry most of his life. He has a thorough training process that is second to none. It’s very intense at first but absolutely worth It. There are also opportunities to further your training as you continue to work for FotoFly. -You will develop a close relationship with your coworkers. We are a family here! The environment is fun and lighthearted. Unless there needs to be seriousness... -You get to play with kiddos all day long! Who doesn’t love that? -You capture lifelong memories for these families and there is nothing more rewarding than that. The stories you’ll hear and experiences that some of the clients have been through are life changing! A lot of clients will become like family to you and those relationships will last a lifetime. -Pay! The other reviews complain about pay which is strange to me. You get a base pay plus tips. When you add the two together, you’re making way more an hour than most other jobs at an entry level. Your tip amount is ultimately in your control. If you deliver great service, you get a higher tip and that equates to a bigger pay check!

Cons

-Schedule. Sometimes you can’t work the schedule you want. The schedule is built to fill customer needs, not your own. When you start to genuinely care about clients, this isn’t a big deal. I know I struggled with It in the beginning but It isn’t an issue anymore. -No benefits. As much as I’d like benefits, this company is a small business. Most small businesses do not offer benefits. Not a deal breaker, but something to keep in mind. -Occasional lack of communication. Every once in awhile things will get missed and It can be frustrating at times. The communication has gotten much better over the years, and they are constantly trying to improve it. There is definitely room to grow though.

Pros

Flexible schedule, amazing training, awesome co workers and manager

Cons

It’s hot outside at the outdoor locations, the training can take a while but it’s a hard skill to learn so worth it.

Pros

Seems great at first but just wait….

Cons

But what really goes down is they laid off most of the staff after we worked hard to set up the business. I was about to start school again and took a few days off to go camping and gave my hours away to coworkers who really needed them, and because of that, I returned to no job. Also while I was there, during construction, a construction crew member stole this girls iPod and Eric said he was going to search my car. I said go for it, it’s empty but I should have grabbed my stuff and walked away right then. They said what kind of people they are and I didn’t listen. I was also the only person of color. Don’t forget he left his wife high and dry as soon as she got sick.
