Pros

Nice buildings, computers, and decent staff. The commission is decent. It's 3% on the collections only. It's good for a first job and they will hire pretty much anyone who is good looking with a pulse.

Cons

The whole company is insanely unorganized. The system goes down constantly, the corporate office is full of idiots. I worked there for over a year and they are supposed to choose a "lead" for every season, yet they didn't this season just to save a quick buck. They always nickel and dime EVERY client. Like 45$ PER PICTURE to get some retouching when they have 30-55 pictures.. you do the math. That is RIDICULOUS. They do not sell the CD with copyrights alone you either have to reach $1,250 for most popular and $2,950 for elites just to get the CD and unlimited poses. The prices are ridiculous and this just sets you up for failure. Most every parent gets upset because they have to spend thousands of dollars to even think about getting one copy of each of the pictures they like. So you have parents YELLING at you all of the time. This job is the most stressful job. They are always understaffed and you always have to feel like you're in crunch time. Things never go smooth. They messed up my pay for OVER A MONTH! The managers are EXTREMELY unorganized and honestly do not even know what they're doing. You will regret more than anything working for this company.

Pros

Great stepping stone to something better.

Cons

CADY appears to be led by individuals who lack a clear understanding of how to effectively run a business. The company promotes a “welcoming” culture, but in practice, it often feels performative and rooted in outdated or uncomfortable approaches. The environment within the Innovation Center is consistently tense. Teams frequently experience internal friction, and HR maintains a highly visible presence that can feel more like surveillance than support. In October 2025, Josh Cady abruptly eliminated the work-from-home policy with no transition period. This decision left many employees scrambling to adjust, particularly those who relied on remote flexibility for childcare and other responsibilities. The PTO policy is notably limited for a company of this size, and the absence of dedicated sick days only adds to employee strain. Removing remote work mid-year, while offering minimal time off, reflects a lack of consideration for employee well-being. Daily interactions can also feel forced. For example, employees are greeted each morning by HR in a way that often comes across as insincere rather than welcoming. Overall, CADY feels disorganized, undercompensates its employees, and provides minimal benefits, contributing to a challenging and unsupportive work environment.
