Pros
Commission structure (and that’s about it).
Cons
• Excessive Workload Jobs are overbooked daily, leaving no breathing room and creating constant pressure. • Unrealistic Travel Times Schedules don’t allow enough time to travel between shoots, making punctuality and quality tough to maintain. • Quantity Over Quality The company prioritises pushing out as many jobs as possible instead of supporting photographers to deliver high-quality work. • Poor Management Support Concerns raised by staff are often ignored or dismissed rather than resolved. • Hostile Attitude Toward Time Off Annual leave and sick days are discouraged, and staff are made to feel guilty for taking time off. • Intimidating Leadership The CEO implies that taking too much holiday or sick leave could put your job or workload at risk due to lack of staff cover. • Lack of Respect for Experience Even experienced, senior photographers are made to feel incompetent when raising legitimate issues. • No Proper Staffing Levels Not enough photographers to share workload, causing stress and burnout.
