​

Testimonial:  Telescope pictures was a completely different operation when I was there than it is now.  Jon and Sam have taken Telescope Pictures to the next level with regards to processes, technology and partnerships but the culture of family, friends and competition is still strong.  Looking forward to seeing what they do next. 

​

Summers completed at Telescope Pictures: 2 Years - Wish I would have started earlier.

​

Advice to a future recruit: Its a competitive, fun place to work that you can be proud of now and when you leave.  I believe there are two types of friends; friends for now and friends forever… Telescope Pictures has given me friends forever.  My advice would be to learn, work hard, be a team player and you’ll be rewarded financially.  You’ll leave Telescope Pictures with great friends and memories.
