Studio Associate - Studio Associate Picture Me Portrait Studios Employee Review

Love for photography, and love meeting new clients.

Not enough traffic, due to location of the business.

My local manager was an amazingly passionate woman! If she'd have never left, neither would have I. She was the only thing that worked properly in that studio.

They give everything away for free! Even if you do well, there is no reward. If you want to be an assistant manager, they will make you one, even if you don't deserve it or work for it. And even if you pawn your work off onto other employees. They will hire people with no qualifications at the same pay rate as a professional photographer. Upper management and regulation compromises photograph quality to get more appointments with less sales, rather than giving a superior product that people would pay hundreds of dollars for. Also, their dress code was counter productive! Infants do not see black well and it is 10 times as hard to get a baby to smile in black than in blue. If you're not working in film, there is no logical reason to wear black. Company does not understand child psychology. The manager and worked hard to make the studio profitable and within a month of us leaving the place had an awful reputation for being dirty and sending out a bad product. I am always so sad when I walk by and see all the unhappy customers... if there are any.
