Pros
Working with a great team and at top-tier tourist locations! Photography is a passion of mine and it is amazing when you have a passion become your career.
Cons
Working with the tourist industry can be hard in the beginning to adapt to - we work when everyone else is off and having fun. Think retail hours when it comes to holiday weeks -but on the flip side we get to be a part of a ton of peoples holiday memories.

Mar 7, 2023 - Sales Associate/Photographer/Photo Editor in Virginia Beach, VARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Some flexibility in weekly hours.
Cons
They charge $48 for a 3 pk of photos but pay minimum wages. They exploit school kids. The supervisors give out about each other. Your hours can be cut without notice any day. Your work week can be cut without notice. Lack of safety with chemicals . One aggressive and bullying manager.

Asst operations manager
Jan 27, 2023 - Assistant Manager in Washington, DCRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Great place to work for basic camera skills
Cons
Horriable pay, no benefits, crazy hours (no work/ balance)
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
I was paid on time.
Cons
I was genuinely traumatized by my experience working for this company. I worked there many many years ago when the employee handbook banned “unprofessional” hairstyles such as afros, braids, and dreadlocks. As a Black woman I had to go to great lengths to make sure my natural hair didn’t get me fired. But in the end I was fired via email for chewing gum. I wish I was making this up. Management was not polite, approachable, or warm. The owner always looked at me and spoke to me with sharp condescension. The older, wiser version of me would have walked when I read the employee handbook, but the college-aged version of me didn’t know what a toxic work environment was yet. We all live and learn, I guess. I hope they have since improved. Now, as a business owner with my own staff, I take experiences like this and tuck them in my mental “What Not to Do” folder.

Many long-term employees/managers suddenly leaving!
Oct 5, 2022 - Anonymous EmployeeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
You meet good people but unfortunately you all hate your lives there because it’s a stressful job with no support from management.
Cons
Minimum wage. Revolving door of employees. Many of the upper managers are suddenly leaving. Something is wrong. Tourists are hard to work with and sometimes physically assault you. I know one of the female managers got punched in the face by a customer last summer and nothing happened to the customer.

Pros
Cool Community and amazing views/locations
Cons
Not paid enough for amount of labor and expertise needed
