Work, Work, Work - Photographer Lifetouch Employee Review

It paid only $12 per hour, had next to no benefits, and I essentially had to be on-call six days per week from 6 a.m. to midnight. I only got my work assignments two to three days in advance, so it was almost impossible to have a personal life or plan anything (e.g., doctor appointments) outside of work. It also paid very below the market rate for mileage and I saw very little room for advancement. In addition, because of the low pay, I had to work 65-70 hours per week in order to make ends meet. Finally, all the photographers are laid off over the winter and summer when schools are not in session.
