Tough work environment with unhelpful management

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Pretty good discount on products.

Cons

Lonely place to work. Management very clicky and difficult to talk to. You're "trained" by managers who know nothing about photography or how to use a camera/photoshop. Sent all over the place to different shops very last minute. Upper management very unprofessional on occasion. I was attacked by a customer and spat at. Called my manager who then complained to other members of staff that I bothered her on her day off! Wouldn't bother unless you like being lonely and being treated like a nobody.
