Pros
I really enjoy the culture here at Lifetouch. Endless opportunities for growth!
Cons
Benefits can be a lot better! One major con is having to use your own personal vehicle and you're not compensated for that. Although you do get a gas card the wear and tear you put on your car is tremendous. Besides those to cons a great company to work for!

Different location daily, having to carry a whole car full of equipment for the 4 months, sometimes randomly working a 12+ hour day, their view on disabilities was wack

Pros
Somehow the company has a few great employees left.
Cons
Below average pay, quality continuously declining, living in the dark ages of technology.
Advice to Management
Upgrade your equipment, it costs you business and you can't compensate for it by short handing employees.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Lifetouch full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Not many pros. It is a job.
Cons
Photography is a joke, basic at best.
Equipment is less then a joke, $200. 00 camera.
Long hours some days you drive five hours, setup for four hours, and the shooting is 3.5 hours. Then you make $50, because they only want the directory.Advice to Management
Hire people that can work a camera, without having to tape all the controls.
Invest in equipment
Get better products to sell.
Change the pay to include something per hour or sit. Even if only $10hrLifetouch 2018-05-17 17:37 PDT![Lifetouch Logo]()
