Lifetouch – “A job. Not a career.”

Pros

A mediocre place to get started photographing. The specific location I worked for had opportunities to use your own camera and photograph candid events. A decent way to supplement income because it's monthly.

Cons

The travel was overwhelming. Usually driving between 75 to 100 miles per day on average. Be sure not to use any vehicle you are attached to as it will be destroyed by the end of the season. Mileage reimbursement is poor. There is no allotment of break time, meaning if you are busy all day the only break you may get is to use the bathroom. The equipment was given to me for the season so it has be sitting in my car for the last three months.

Advice to Senior Management

Consider restructuring to offer more support in the field.
