Photography was fun everything else was a nightmare
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Be upfront about the nature of scheduling hours
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
They started me at 8.50 although recent new hires start at 9.50. I did get promoted to a supervisor level but for the amount of responsibilities the pay was not worth it
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Treat and pay your employees fairly. If you are going to schedule an on call shift and demand that its treated as a working shift then pay the employee at least half of the shift time if they are not called in.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
They dont pay well, hours are laughable and raises are minimal. Over the years they have stripped benefits and recently did away with ESOP ( Employee stock ownership program). I did enjoy my job for the photography aspect but everything else was a nightmare
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Not enough staff to treat customers well since if its a slow day you are by yourself. if you are photographing a session you are also expected to answer calls and attend to the front and sell. Imagine doing that when five customers show up to pick their orders in the middle of a session while phone
