Pros

Pretty decent base pay Mostly flexible schedule for time off Fun to work with babies Great at working with photography skills Great communication

Cons

At the hospital I was at, felt like we were not wanted by the staff--did not get along super well Extra pay fluctuates hard, especially at this hospital--based off commission and with a lot of low income families in the area, hard to do so. Consequently, hard to meet company standards with sales with the low income families, and often told to somewhat "coerce" the families into buying like asking them all about their financial life and who could pay for the packages. Being a bit too pushy in my opinion. Hours fluctuate based on how many rooms you may have in a day--very hard to tell when you will be done with work for the day.

Pros

Holding babies and welcoming new parents.

Cons

1. They treat you like you're an independent contract worker. But you're NOT! As an employer they should be supplying EVERYTHING! Any camera, camera equipment, swaddles, backdrops, or props onsite are the generous donations of former/ current photographers that are willing to share their used supplies! I can't imagine how they get away with this. No other company I worked for required you to buy what should be THEIR supplies. Good news though, they will reimburse you for pens. 2. Management wants you to pressure new and exhausted parents into making hundred dollar purchases immediately after presenting your pictures. They force you to do this by lowering your commission rate if the parents want more time or to purchase online once they are home. 3. They exploit workers. They don't have any Full Time photographers. I am sure this is because they don't want to be a decent employer and take care of those that take care of them by offering benefits. I could understand if they were a small local company that can't afford these things but they are not! They have BIG contracts with BIG hospitals, getting BIG money. Don't let them fool you. They have the money and refuse to take care of their employees.
