Pros

The schedule is really flexible, there are opportunities for growth in photography knowledge. There is a base pay but customers can give you tips, big tips too if you do a good job. It's not your average 9-5 and Sundays are always off.

Cons

It's a small business so there is a lot of clicky relationships, it's ran by family members and friends of friends. They bend the rules for only certain people. Getting a raise is not easy, they're very hesitant and bitter about giving someone a raise. They charge customers extra for skin retouching and head swaps but employees that know how to do more than basic editing don't get paid extra. It's a job for students and people who need a mediocre job to get them by when they're not in need of financial help. It's not a place that appreciates strong personalities and if you disagree with them, they'll simply write you up and dismiss you.
