Rolland Studios

I worked for this company for about 2 months & it was a living nightmare-to say the least. The only manager is also the president of the company. There is no HR department to file concerns or complaints to besides the Secretary & even then you fear retaliation. Their hiring add states 20-24$ per hour, & then they only pay you 12$ per hour. The manager is rude, inconsiderate, unprofessional & almost creepy. I felt extremely uneasy being around him alone. The comments that were not only said to me, but to the teenage girls we photographed in high schools were EXTREMELY inappropriate.
There is no social life outside of this job. They will not work with you to incorporate another part time job either as they only send out the schedule the day before the new week starts.
I have been in the photography industry for many many years & I have worked at a number of studios, & this company is by far the worst place I have ever worked for.
The only good I left this situation with was a hand full of good friends whom I still keep in contact with.

Rolland Studios is incredibly overpriced ($520 for 100 wallets) and the photos weren’t that great. I found them very unwilling to work with the customer. I offered to buy the CD of the photo session so I could then have the wallets printed at a more reasonable rate. This is not an option. I had my daughters pictures taken by 2 other professional photographers (one outdoor session/other indoor), both provided fantastic photos on a CD and I could print what I needed and upload to their Senior book in Shutterfly. Both were also more reasonably priced. The only reason I needed their pictures is because they took them in a white cap and gown and the other 2 photographers didn't have it available.



Again, the only reason we went to them to is because the school requires that all yearbook pictures are taken by them. I would STRONGLY recommend that you take the required pictures with them and then find a more reasonably priced photographer to do a full session and to purchase from.
