“A good start.”

Discounts, friendly, fast paced environment, air conditioning in the summer, heat in the winter.

Long hours of standing. Hazardous materials - but WHIMIS training is provided. Pay is not all that great.

Advice to Senior Management

If you want to retain good employees you have to pay them more.

Blacks Photography MOD in Mississauga, ON (Canada): (Past Employee - 2009)

“Educated Photographers Directed by Unfocused Managers”

Pros

Amazing fellow associates, learn a lot about cameras through hands-on experiences, opportunity to advance due to many employees leaving, great discount on photo-printing.

Cons

Low low LOW pay, untrained & unfocused managers, no one in upper management knows much about the technology being sold, CONSTANT promo changes, bad marketing of promotions.

Advice to Senior Management

Come up with more efficient method of promo and price changes in order to waste less selling hours, do not send SO MANY bulletins with constant little changes to promos. Time is constantly wasted by associates cutting out price signs. Focus each promo on a few big things-- don't change things in the promo every week and confuse not only associates but customers. Organize the menu listing all photofinishing orders (i.e. when making a photofinishing envelope) so that associates are more aware of all services possible.
