Excellent place to work, if you are a professional, and go on board with a nice salary.

Pros

The most special thing about B&H, is that all the colleagues you work with, easily become your friends. It's like being part of an extended family. If you are a very highly qualified professional, and obtain a job role with a very high responsibility, the salaries tend to be good. The benefits package is very good, and the company is closed for a week in September, and April each year.

Cons

The company is extremely strict that employees should be at work on time, everyday at 9am. All employees, have to punch in with their fingerprint every morning, even if you are a corporate lawyer! Entry level jobs are easy to get, however the pay is not so great. They do have performance reviews each quarter, and yearly raises, however if you start low, it takes many years to build up to a nice salary.

Pay Is Above Industry Standards For Entry-Level Employees

Pros

It feels good knowing I work for the greatest photo retailer in the world. Management seems to really care about how you treat customers, which make my job very fulfilling. Starting pay is $17 per hour, something unheard of in retail. They don't give me hard time with time-off, and they have 4 weeks a year off for Jewish holidays. They pay for lunch breaks, and allow you to punch in 15 minutes before your scheduled time.

Cons

Unfortunately, if you're not an Orthodox Jew the chances of getting promoted are very slim, and the few who did make it waited 10 years to move up. The business is run like an army, very restrictive and controlling to a level of paranoia. Company focuses very much on keeping their reputation with customers, but seem to care little about their reputation with employees. Benefits package is minimal.

Pros

It's great place to work specially for relifious Jewish people. good medical and health insurance and time off and holiday off. constantly training employees regarding the products, which is very good.

Cons

The management is worst in the world. They are like a closed group in each department and they have they own pets to take a care and watch. Noway you can be promoted, unless you have a connction and being part of their team.
