Had a good run

Pros

It was a very creative place at one time. There were new ideas in all areas of the business. There was lots of good energy and optimism. If you performed well, you were often promoted and encouraged to try new things. It felt like being with the best.

Cons

Not many. I think Getty is really struggling with a changing industry. Through no major fault of it's own or the people, it's being forced to make some tough decisions about the future. I don't think the company will ever regain its luster. The folks in upper management seem to know that too. We often got the sense that some upper management had checked out and were just waiting to go with certain areas of the ship.

No choice but to stay where you are.

Pros

Office location and environment were fantastic. Never had a feeling of corporate stuffiness. Manager became a dear friend. Very good benefits package.

Cons

Absolutely no room for career advancement or even ability to keep skills current. Too many key pieces of technology were centralized and moved to Seattle. At times my job functioned in name only. Constant changes in senior management lead to many bad technology decisions and I was gradually removed from those discussions. New management in IT desperately need to listen to the people who have been with the company longer than they. Too many help desk operators in other office were not properly trained on company IT standards due to MANAGERS not properly trained on company IT standards.
