Picture People Employer Reviews

A typical day here is busy, i learned how to be a photographer, management was good and flexible, co-workers help when needed, the hardest part of the job was making a crying kid smile, most enjoyable part of my job was seeing happy customers satisfied with my photography.

Open up store, clean up the white backdrop and props. Answer calls, promote the studio with a goofy hat. Take clients pictures, sale complete packages. Make little kids smile and pose good for the camera and provide professional customer services.
I was a rocky photographer my coworkers were always good trying to teach me the techniques . My hardest – more... part was taking a crying or hyper baby or naughty uncontrollable kids picture and trying to get their attention by being goofy, taking a picture and having a perfect one. Was looking a happy customer with my work on their hands. – less

As a photographer depending on the work flow of guests the photo sessions may have some time in between were the photographer themselves may be able to go through the photos and add some flare to them. During rush seasons the photographer may pass on the editing on to the manager. The fellow photographers are really good at keeping each other on the – more... set time schedules. Hardest part of this job would have to be keeping guests within their timed session. The pictures though were definitely those of quality. – less

very reasonable and fun place to work. never disliked coming to work. managers were amazing and very flexible and the customers were usually very friendly

All the other reviews have to be fake. I tried working here, but the higher management has become very unprofessional. They hire anyone and pay too less. They make you work off the clock and pay for things out of your own pocket. They will manipulate you to make it seem like it's your own fault when they screw up. Picture People doesn't care about image – more... quality they only care about the number of people that come through the door. – less

A typical day was for me to take pictures of children, families, pets and couples. I learned how to develop film, take pictures and to sell different packages. The management was very fair to each employee. I had a great time with all my co-workers at all times. My hardest part of the job was to deal with screaming children and upset parents. I loved – more... that the photos that I took would be hanging in their homes or in their wallets forever. – less

I learned how to be patient with people on a daily basis. Managemet does a good job with training and enforcing rules apon the new employees.. the Hardest part about the job is getting the children to cooperate and warm up to you for a nice smile, which is also the most ejoyable part of the job too.

A typical day at Picture People consisted of preparing cameras and other equipment for photography. Also properly taking the customers photos.

I learned how to be a photographer and also I learned sales.

Management was fair

Co-workers were easy to get along with

the hardest part of my job was getting babies to take pictures

the most enjoyable part – more... of my job is when the day was over. – less

The people I work with bring fun to the job. However, when there is no customers many of the coworkers are not needed for the day and there for loss hours earning money to live.
I had learned a great deal about sales and speaking to customers about their needs and values about our store.
A typical day our boss will tell us about the store value of how – more... much we made in a month, our average for the week and what is our goals of the day. We are then assigned our position for the day and off to doing our duties answering phone calls, helping customers, and selling products. – less

I have been with picture people for about 5 months now and I must say its been the most fun job i have ever had. Picture People is a true believer in the team mentality which is what makes us so successful and productive while still keeping things low stress and fun. The wages are pretty competitive and they do offer benefits.

This was one of my favorite jobs. I got a chance to work with people, there was always business and the pay was great and staff was great as well.

I enjoyed my time at the picture people it is a fun and wonderful place to work

I mean, a lot of things went wrong while I worked there. Not necessarily the managers fault though.

picture people was a seasonal job and it was also a very fun job in also included some of my favorite things i love which is taking pictures and helping people capture that special moment

Corporate management did not care about business. They purposely opened up holiday appointment book to schedule 5 clients every 15 minutes during holiday hours. They were open from 8am-11pm with too many bookings and not enough support staff.

Assisting employees with the families that need us to capture the photos.
Daily inventory
Daily/Weekly/Monthly sales
Scheduling employees and customers
Marketing / Company to Company advertising

I learned how to handle customers here, and how to keep a smile on my face while doing it.

Greeting customers, sales, data entry, played with children and photographed all ages and pets. I learned to operate a camera and be creative and outgoing with people of all ages, Management was very supportive and very good teamwork. The hardest part of the job was holiday season. Understaffed made days long. Overall it is a place that taught me to – more... create fun memories. – less

Lots of unnecessary conference calls and "pump up" meetings, Lots of behind the scenes manipulations and back stabbing from upper management. My store was often the highest sales and customer service numbers in the district and my team was happy, but my DM was constantly plotting and manipulating so I removed myself from the situation.

very fast paced
how to be a photographer

I enjoy every part of my job
