Pros

Holding babies and welcoming new parents.

Cons

1. They treat you like you're an independent contract worker. But you're NOT! As an employer they should be supplying EVERYTHING! Any camera, camera equipment, swaddles, backdrops, or props onsite are the generous donations of former/ current photographers that are willing to share their used supplies! I can't imagine how they get away with this. No other company I worked for required you to buy what should be THEIR supplies. Good news though, they will reimburse you for pens. 2. Management wants you to pressure new and exhausted parents into making hundred dollar purchases immediately after presenting your pictures. They force you to do this by lowering your commission rate if the parents want more time or to purchase online once they are home. 3. They exploit workers. They don't have any Full Time photographers. I am sure this is because they don't want to be a decent employer and take care of those that take care of them by offering benefits. I could understand if they were a small local company that can't afford these things but they are not! They have BIG contracts with BIG hospitals, getting BIG money. Don't let them fool you. They have the money and refuse to take care of their employees.
