Pros

The only pro with working with the people with the same title as you, not your manager, not HR, and especially not the CEO Julie

Cons

The company over works you and under pays you. You have to hit a MASSIVE production quota and you are treated like a robot. You work with photographers who do the same job as you but the pay amongst them are very different. The company doesn't appreciates it's employees and brushes off any complaints you make. The CEO even took away the company holiday party we had this year because of budgeting?? Although we all know she'll be attending one herself. If you really want to know the real REAL BS that goes on with this company, speak with any of the mannequin photographers.

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.
