Hello! Thank you for your review! I'm glad you found your work to be interesting and that you had a positive experience with your co-workers! In terms of low pay in high cost of living (HCOL) areas, compensation is top of mind. Our Compensation team works diligently to monitor inflation rates, and as a company, we are committed to adjusting pay when certain parameters are hit. Our Compensation team also regularly reviews market data to ensure all employees are being paid fairly for the cost of labor in their market. However, if an employee has specific concerns, we encourage them to reach out to their Human Resources Business Partner to discuss. We have resources available to help employees feel confident in their pay. If you have any other concerns or feedback, feel free to email me at sarah.dudley@gettyimages.com
