Pros
I am able to do the things that I love; photograph, work with children, meet people.
Cons
Where to start? Unless you are management your hours are very limited. Corp. goals seem to be get as much as possible from as little as possible. Every week the customer comments for my region have dozens of complaints on long waits to get in the camera room and short time once you get in there. You can get a quality session in 10 minutes IF it is one subject and they are completely cooperative. If that is not the case it is going to take longer or the pictures will be a big disappointment and the sales will reflect that. BTW the Chairman Award is a joke. The submissions that win are NOT from a 10 minute standard session. They do not reflect what we are producing on a day to day basis. The sad thing is they are what truly gifted photographers are capable of when given the time and freedom to truly express their art.
