Pros
The other retouchers I worked with were very helpful and kind, but soon left after their 6 month contracts were up due to the toxic environment. Laurin was also a great guy to work with.
Cons
Sal is a nightmare. I will never forget the day that he found a bad review for his company on google from a competitor, he called said competitor, and cussed them out for the review and bullied them into taking it down... in front of the entire office. Did I mention that the review had been written two years prior? That was just one of the many instances that happened with him. He will also threaten to sue you for your non-compete even when your not competing. Be careful upon signing paperwork especially if you have your own business. In my interview they promised travel, assisting experience, etc. none of which happened. Salary was minimum wage at the time with zero overtime pay and no benefits, however 5-10 hours a week of OT was a normal occurrence. They don't pay more with a promotion even if you take over a higher role into a previous persons position that was paid more. It's just more responsibility and more hours with less pay.
