Pros

It was a great feeling to be able to take pictures of kids who were so giddy and excited to get their pictures taken on picture day.

Cons

You’re driving to random different schools sometimes close, sometimes far. You have to pack all the equipment in your car and then go to the schools and remember how to set these huge equipment up the right way. You don’t get a break or a lunch! My breaking point was starting work at 5am at school and not finishing until 5pm with no break!!!! Also, you’re not learning photography. You’re just setting up the equipment and making sure the student or staff is fit in the frame and then clicking a button on a clicker to take the picture. You’re also graded on your pictures. A good picture is considered a person smiling……most kids don’t want to smile.

Pros

Coworkers were always friendly and great to work with. Insurance was great.

Cons

Literally everything else. Company makes major changes every few months, firing managers across the country without replacements. Did not fire a sales rep who was committing felony fraud but fired small employees with false information. Company is 90 years old but refuses to make basic improvements. Nowhere to move up and bonus is rigged.
