Are You A Politician?

Pros

The incentive package was great! Decent base salary, and the commission upon exceeding goals were even better.

Cons

Working hard, and smart is important to be successful in any sales role. At Getty Images you have to do that, and understand office politics. If management likes you and you work hard, you will make good money for a long time. They will help you to exceed you your goals each month, and each quarter.

Pros

There is so much love and investment in their photographers and contributors, and they take pride in representing the most creative and beautiful photography in the industry, in both the editorial and creative space. Currently their industry leader, they're always trying to be ahead of the curve and pride themselves as a creative company. In past years employee retention was great. The office is modern and the people are generally nice and trustworthy.

Cons

This is an incredibly competitive industry and the culture has gone through a massive shift, moving from a positive, entrepreneurial environment where sales people are encouraged to succeed and own their accounts, to a regimented, tightly monitored culture full of strict adherence to a specific workflow and almost no room to move up. Every role is closely micromanaged which creates a strong sense of distrust and lack of confidence in employees. If you like the crank it out, cold call environment, this may be the right place for you. If you are interested in a higher-level of sales where quality work and relationship building take the lead, you will not find your place here. No room to grow or move up Employees have no voice or impact Upper management doesn't listen to their employees; bad decisions are made at the top with zero input from those that will actualize the changes and understand the impact and foresee issues, and no opportunity for a conversation on how to improve after changes are implemented.
