Pros

Nice people to work with. Great Flex-Time and health insurance. Office is clean and somewhat modern. Local Human Resources missed the mark for over two years while in the position.

Cons

They are in a conundrum as they used to be a "Boys Club" and since the #metoo they are now a "Girls Club" and they seem to be missing the point entirely on what it means to be a feminist. Hard pressure from middle management up to partake in surveys. Communication is poor most of the time and hard work and tenure doesn't seem to be a priority from senior leadership.

Hi, As Chief People Officer, I'm saddened to read that your local HR "missed the mark". I'm committed to ensuring that our employees' experiences reflect our Leadership Principles and it's critical to me that the HR resources in our local markets are meeting the needs of our teams. If you would be comfortable reaching out to me, I'd welcome a conversation to learn more about what your experience was so that we can do better. Please feel free to contact me anytime at lizanne.vaughan@gettyimages.com. I appreciate that you took the time to share your perspective. All my best, Lizanne
