Mom365 FAQ

it's a beautiful job, you finish work day when you are done with your work, get to work in a nice environment, no direct management on top of you.

you work for minimum vage, and you get some comission you are paid for what is higher. very low wage, the only ones who stay for a longer time are the trainers. they have 401 k and medical insurance, which is basic and no one knows about any of the insurance cause the company is not doing enough to help to understand them. i would rather not to get medical insurance since my salary is low anyway and would get better coverage throw the medi care. since the company was bought management is chaotic, my district management is basically existing, the new photographers are not well trained and no one is checking on that. most of the photographers are part-time moms who obviously have another salary to pay the bills.

remove the benefits to part timers insted give them bonuses, or higher commissions. when you are finishing work at 1.00 pm then you know you have to many photographers working the same shift and no one is making money.

Adorable babies! The company was going through some shake-ups as I was leaving so MAYBE things have started turning around.

The pay was laughable. They say you have to push more sales to make more but there were only so many rooms you could get into before the 2PM cutoff at our hospital. I ended up PAYING to work here because my daycare costs were higher than the promises/expectation of pay. I also know for a fact several of my coworkers were under the influence of drugs when they were handling newborns which is a HUGE deterrent of me ever using this service or one like this for my own newborn. The private information you disclose to us did not feel secure enough to me personally.

Pay the photographers more per hour (even if you have to lower the commission percentage). This would bring in higher-quality professionals and eliminate rapid turnover. Or minimum-wage hourly PLUS commission would suffice.

opportunity to make decent money for a part time job if you are good at sales. You get to work with newborns The working hours are great for moms with school aged children

Not a good full time job/income to depend on Benefits aren't very good You are expected to work holidays if your shift falls on one

I wish I could think of one

Where to start? 4 CEO’s in 48 months. Constant realignment. Overworked and under paid. New Owner/CEO has no clue how to run this business and has terminated anyone that did. Photographers work too hard for little pay off and are not valued by the company or the hospital staff. Home office left with a skeleton crew which leaves the field management with no support. New managers brought in making substantially more than DM’s that had worked 24/7 for years and these new people are coming from mall studio management and are trying to treat it like retail which doesn’t work in a hospital setting but they refuse to listen to the employees that are the boots on the ground. The company is not being honest with their hospital clients about the state of the business . Just a sad, sad disaster.

Get real. If you don’t fix the root of the problem and treat people fairly, you have zero chance for survival.

If you love newborns, and are super flexible with your work hours, this job is great. They teach top-down sales techniques, and pay is commission-driven.

Company pushes hard for selling the largest package, but doesn't teach more than very basic photography techniques. Commissions vary, depending on numbers of babies, hours worked, and sales made. This job is good for filler income. Expect to be called in to cover other hospitals, as well.

1 - Teach better photography (that makes selling even easier!!) 2 - Higher base pay for lower-birth-rate areas 3 - Improve communication between DM & Field Trainers to be less hectic.
