Pros

Free lunch, great networking opportunities, learning valuable and translatable knowledge, the photo team stuck together; teamwork was very strong and supportive. Generous and mandatory overtime and an incentive percentage program are opportunities to make more money. Great benefits and perks.

Cons

Company is a revolving door. Class action suit waiting to happen if they don't listen to the needs of their employees. Paying NJ state taxes if you commute from neighboring states. Too many changes in upper level management. Management can play favorites/politics sometimes.

Pros

Good peer group of women on the team. Mileage reimbursement is provided.

Cons

Extremely high sales quotas that are difficult to consistently achieve, paired with limited compensation upside even when goals are met. The organization feels top-heavy, with too many layers of management relative to the field team, which creates inefficiencies and slows decision-making. Management style can feel overly micromanaged and at times more focused on process and tone than actual business growth or performance metrics. There is limited perceived career growth, and compensation does not scale meaningfully with experience or performance. Overall morale among the sales team is low, and employee concerns around workload, pay, and structure do not always feel addressed in a meaningful way.
