Vantaggi
Decent pay for relatively easy work
Lots of variety
Svantaggi
No paid mileage unless traveling outside of a 30 mile radius, which you never will because they make sure to have overlapping photographers to cover the zones, despite the fact that the realtors will still be charged for the mileage.
No reimbursement for consumable gear
No reimbursement for parking but you will frequently be sent downtown
Management is sluggish to deal with any issues, often non responsive, and quick to fire over small indiscretions.
No opportunities for growth or portfolio building.
While 80 percent of realtors are prepared for a shoot, the other 20 percent that aren't are frustrating and time consuming
Absolutely no contact with anyone else you work will. There's not even much communication between you and your boss
You are dispensable and the company make no attempt to hide it
