- You get to connect with amazing creatives, not only within the film photography community but across various disciplines & industries
- The workload is enjoyable and you can really make it your own
- Lovely staff/employees all around!
Cons
- Employees are severely underpaid & undervalued, especially for US standards. There are no opportunities for raises; even those who have stayed at the company for years are not given raises. The company hires eager young people who are fresh out of college, simply because they can pay them as little as possible.
- The owners are unfortunately very disrespectful, hostile and out of line most of the time. On multiple occasions, they spoke negatively about past & current employees behind their backs. Being around them was stressful and uncomfortable.
- No flexibility or incentives for employees. There is zero tolerance for remote working, you are expected to be in office 5 days a week. Employees receive bare minimum PTO and health benefits. The owners try very hard to enforce rigid rules & micromanagement, specifically within the US.
- The owners expect you to devote your entire life to the company and completely cut out any personal creative endeavors or side hustles.
