Great on paper and never a dull day
|
|
Interesting workplace and subject matter/product. Opportunity to learn new technology and SaaS/eCommerce environment. Travel benefits.
|
Every changing processes and procedures. Inconsistency in management on all levels. Lower than average compensation and not a clear path for growth within.

Concentrate on what you are good at and hone that process. It's almost there or at least it was when I was there. The need for your product and service is there. Stop customizing for every customer or else the model seizes to exist and there is no efficiency in workflow.

Listen to your employees and the ideas that flow out of them, you are hiring a plethora of talent and people who genuinely want to better the company and believe in it. If they aren’t heard, the company will continue to struggle. I’ve never seen such a distance between employees, mainly the photographers, and management. Working for Snap36 felt like High School all over again. There were issues with sexual abuse and hazardous work conditions dealing with raw meat in a facility that is not built for it. One word to describe management: neglectful. Start treating your hard working photographers right and stop looking at them like numbers on a spreadsheet.

Best company I've worked for
|
|
I've worked for a lot of studios and a lot of companies over the years and none of them have been even close to how great this company is. This is the highest paying photographer position I've ever had, we are compensated fairly for the amount of work we have to do. The CEO is genuinely interested in improving the work / life balance for all employees. He actually listens and enacts employees ideas to make the company better. Many companies I've worked for have the approach of "do it the way I've told you or I'll find someone who can", this is NOT Snap36's approach. They would rather spend more time training an employee to work correctly and more efficiently than hire another person.
Everyone in the Chicago studio is very nice and welcoming. Management, directors and execs genuinely care about the employees and photographers!
|
Communication between the managers and photographers is sometimes lacking.

Winning
|
|
I've worked at a few other Chicago tech startups before joining Snap36 and can honestly say that this is exactly what I've been looking for.
It's a collaborative team environment where trying new things is the norm, everyone is driven, and everyone is playing to win (and we do an awesome job of celebrating the wins). Everyone has each other's back and there's always someone to bounce ideas off of, from Jeff the CEO down to your manager, your colleagues, other departments, etc. Its the kind of sales environment where you have a lot of autonomy and independence but it's not like you're left to just sink or swim.
Probably the main differentiators though is literally the day to day work. I noticed pretty shortly after joining Snap that we're leading the way in a growing space, and it's happening right now. There's never a shortage of new companies to target, and in under a year I've already seen new partnerships launch with Amazon and several other major retailers. It's not the kind of job where you just pull a long list of contacts and do telemarketing...the space is evolving quickly and as a result so does your day to day and week to week strategy. There's also an awesome marketing department that gives you new ammo to use on a very regular basis, and if you're in a sales role now then I'm sure you can appreciate how valuable that is.
Beyond that there's a ton of room for personal growth, and Snap does a really good job of letting you write your own career story here, which I've experienced first hand in just a short time being there.
|
Like any young company a lot of people here are learning as they go, which really isn't a con in my opinion, but if you cant think on your feet and learn from your mistakes then it might not be the best environment for you.

There are no pros to this company.
|
This place treats contractors like employees and does not comply with federal and state laws in regards to differentiating contractors and employees. When you ask, you are immediately shut down. It's not right and it's not fair. You cannot choose who to hire as an employee or to keep as a contract simply because you want to. You treat a contractor as an employee, they are an employee.
There is no room for growth here. If they like you, you'll succeed. If they don't, move on to the next job and don't waste your chances. They want cheap labor and are continually looking for cheap ways to do things.

You want to break into the industry, you have to put in the time and money. Also, stop keeping contractors as contractors if you want to treat them as employees.

Photography warehouse
|
|
- Competitive pay
- Lots of genuinely good people that make a difference across all levels of employment in the company.
- You will work with some of the best gear in the industry, as well as the newest equipment in the field of 360 photography.
- You will work with a wide variety of products and clients.
- The company itself is growing rapidly and is trailblazing a unique approach to e-commerce photography.
|
- There is a clear disconnect in the way that much of the office communicates with "production" i.e. the studio folks. From day one it was painfully obvious to me that there was an us v them mentality at work. This is not incidental and I believe is a major issue with the company as exemplified in another review on Glassdoor.
- This isn't a creative photography job. You are mostly working on an assembly line of random product between various projects. They are not necessarily deceptive about this being the case, but it should be mentioned that you have zero artistic input in anything you're shooting and that they admittedly don’t gel with “Ansel Adams types” as they explicitly stated in my interview. This is not a problem for many but I found it difficult after the first week.
- The studio managers are noticeably stretched thin and stressed out from the unreasonable load that higher ups push onto them which, in turn, can and will often make things extremely tense for photographers personally and in their collective work environments.
- This is a young company with lots of room to grow, but for photographers there seems to be very little room for actual career advancement or opportunity within the company.
- Directionally mismanaged and unorganized on almost every level of the production end, making it incredibly difficult for photographers to come into work knowing how to tackle their day efficiently.
- Some higher ups will put stress on photographers for spending too much time photographing products properly rather than quickly. This is because they often set or take on unrealistic deadlines irrespective of their own working capabilities.

If you want to instill a sense of legitimate comradery in the workplace it cannot be faked or bought into with snacks; the friendly start-up culture act only goes so far. The CEO didn't know the name of one of my co workers who had been there for almost a year. She was an integral part of the company, and her desk was right across the hall from his. For a workplace of this size I'd argue that’s unacceptable.
