      I worked at Lifetouch part-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      The pay was good, lots of overtime opportunity
      You don't need any prior photography experience, all the training is taught within the on-boarding week

      Cons

      Bad hours, not consistent
      Some days I would need to get to the office at 5am and I would leave the office at 7pm. Yes I would get overtime but it's difficult to manage work-life balance.

      Pros

      great learning opportunity. paid drive time and gas card. sometimes creative work.

      Cons

      lack of communication between schools and office. Pay is not what it should be for talented and reliable workers. no raises. when raises did happen last year, it was a joke.

      Advice to Management

      Cost of living increases? A pay structure that makes sense for people using their own equipment and wear and tear on cameras and vehicles.
