High Turnover Rate

Pros

Experience and training(especially if you’re just out of college).

Cons

Young and inexperienced potential employees are sought after because they’re subordinate and don’t know any better. There is little to no work-life-balance. When they say 50-hr minimum, you’ll be working more than this. Always. This can exceed to more than 60 during peak season. Definitely not for the faint of heart, or anyone with a spouse or young children. I heard the owner complain about a previous employee who was “too devoted to her kids,” leaving to pick them up before all her work was done. They judge you hard core for tending to your personal life. The work place environment is unprofessional, and at times downright uncomfortable. Everyone gets publically called out in the form of poorly written, tantrum emails. If you ever get on the man’s bad side, he’ll make you regret it. If you aren’t competitive or extremely cutthroat, this place is not for you. There’s a reason they have a high turnover rate.

Pros

The other retouchers I worked with were very helpful and kind, but soon left after their 6 month contracts were up due to the toxic environment. Laurin was also a great guy to work with.

Cons

Sal is a nightmare. I will never forget the day that he found a bad review for his company on google from a competitor, he called said competitor, and cussed them out for the review and bullied them into taking it down... in front of the entire office. Did I mention that the review had been written two years prior? That was just one of the many instances that happened with him. He will also threaten to sue you for your non-compete even when your not competing. Be careful upon signing paperwork especially if you have your own business. In my interview they promised travel, assisting experience, etc. none of which happened. Salary was minimum wage at the time with zero overtime pay and no benefits, however 5-10 hours a week of OT was a normal occurrence. They don't pay more with a promotion even if you take over a higher role into a previous persons position that was paid more. It's just more responsibility and more hours with less pay.

Pros

I made a few friends in the studio who had my back no matter what happened. When we got to go out and do things as a team, we really enjoyed ourselves and bonded.

Cons

The hours. No matter how hard I worked, or what time I got there, I would easily be there from 8:30 am - 7:30/8 at night or later. I never took a lunch break, either. I couldn't have a life outside of the company and it was weighing me down and taking a toll on my confidence, health and overall happiness. If you went in happy, you felt that sucked out of you fairly quickly. When I went for help, they were more concerned about bigger concerns than my well-being.
