Pros

* Pay and compensation ( hourly plus mileage reimbursement) * Hands-on training for the first 2-3 weeks on the job * Great experience for beginner photographers looking to learn the basics (i.e., lighting, composition, and framing) * There are plenty of opportunities to grow and develop beyond rigged photographer

Cons

If you call out sick, they will still require you to drop off and pick up your camera equipment on location. I had to drive two hours to a school (round-trip) when I had strep throat. Teachers, parents, and school administrators can be an absolute nightmare to work with, especially at smaller schools and the Pre-K level.

Pros

Great Sales Team. Remote based position.

Cons

-Losing out to competitors has become acceptable or business as usual. -Management has become out of touch with what is going on in the field. -Outdated Photography equipment. -There is constant turnover with photographers. Difficult to keep good people when they are not paid well & have no structure. -Company is very reactionary. Making cuts seems to always be their answer to solve low profits.
