If I had a choice, I'd never started working here
Sales Photographer (Current Employee), Asheville NC – April 9, 2013
Pros: the biltmore house has a lot of nice history
Cons: short breaks, management, pay, almost everything.
I've been working at Sharpshooters at Biltmore for a while now. When I started I was told full time with an average pay of around $10.00 an hour. All Lies. During the christmas season yes you do work full time averaging around 50 hours a week. But as soon as that is over the hours drop and the pay goes to $8.00 an hour working barely 24 hours a week.

The – more... guest of the house are rude! Simply said. The pay might as well be nothing for the amount of stress that you get at that job.

The manager play favorites like crazy. Giving the easier shifts to their favorites as well as doing anything they can as long as they like you.

If you want to be over work, under appreciated and under payed then this job is great for you. I would never recommend this job to anyone. Trust me you don't want to work here. And from what I've read from other venues its the same all over. – less

It was okay...
Lead Photographer (Former Employee), Chattanooga, TN – March 28, 2013
Pros: free meals, funny coworkers, fun sometimes
Cons: strict dress code, long hours, rude guests, overbearing boss
I had a really nitpicky boss during the time I was there, and while she gave me a promotion, she then acted like I didn't deserve it the whole time I had it. They wanted to promote me further but corporate wouldn't allow it unless I did a ton of paperwork. What was worse is I was already doing the job, they just didn't want to give me the power/position/salary. – more... Whatever. The customers were usually rude, but my coworkers were great.

The boss is gone now, so I've heard. It might be better today. – less

Run run, you better run run...away!
Assistant Manager/ Sales Associate (Former Employee), Boston, MA – February 5, 2013
Pros: you work at the aquarium
Cons: management and working under someone who is emotionally unstable.
A typical day is being under paid for your efforts. I learned that there is no praise involved in this position that your constantly under attack by management. The management staff are people who will not be able to work anywhere else and are settling. Management is emotionally unstable and take their internal problems out on staff.
Coworkers are great. – more... You work with some who are great workers but others that have no workethic whatsoever. The hardest part of the job is working with the venue manager and most enjoyable part are the patrons and the actual aquarium staff that are very pleasant – less

Never again
Sales (Former Employee), San Diego – August 5, 2012
Pros: nada
Cons: coworkers
People seriously lie to you behind your back, The boss never emails you back and people who are suppose to be your so called nice coworkers use you to get to the top of list.
Never ever again well I work with such harsh people. You can get no raise or 401k. Meaning no health care,
The pictures are also high price

Horrrible
photographer/sales associate (Former Employee), colorado – August 3, 2012
Pros: meeting people
Cons: everything thing else about the job
Stay away ... stay far away. This is s culture of abuse, starting with the owners who are often in the operation and screaming at the employees. These guys are neanderthals, and you'll never make the money that's promised. It's a pity they stay in business. Just go to their website and view the number of vacant positions. In this economy ... that's – more... a joke. – less

Fun Work Place
Photographer (Former Employee), Atlanta, GA – July 9, 2012
Pros: pleasant environment
Cons: short breaks, and no paid vacation.
I would typically start work around 8 or 9 depending on the day. I would set up the camera equipment and make sure everything was in place. I would great guests and take pictures of them some days, other days I would sell guests merchandise. I learned how to work a camera, and better my customer service. I enjoyed all my co-workers there, I didn't have – more... problems with any of them. I was overall happy with the management. The hardest part of the job was it was outside and a year round job, so there were several times it was summer and almost 100 degrees. Or it was winter and below freezing. The most enjoyable part was working with the people who came in. – less

Lie to you from the beginning!
Photo Sales and Photography Photographer (Current Employee), Washington, DC – May 2, 2012
Cons: short breaks
I have been working for Sharpshooter Imaging for about seven months and I can not wait to leave! From the very beginning in the interview they said they promote within the company and the pay would average to about $10 an hour. Well...they just demoted my assistant manager twice!! First to supervisor, then cut her hours and said she could go back to – more... associate if she'd like. Of course she quit..which is essentially what they wanted. Very shady way of getting rid of an employee. Management has no care for photography and is only interested in sales...but I hardly see a difference in my commissioned part of my salaries even on good days. overall, I would not want to work for them again, and I once saw them as a company I could transfer with to different locations. – less
