Pros

Represents some of the best photographers.

Cons

Salaries are horrible - not too surprising considering there are predominantly women employees and mostly men in the CXO positions. Many photographers are leaving and are unhappy with company. Year+ long salary freeze has left morale low and office atmosphere hostile. Management is lacking from top to bottom. Incompetent isn't a strong enough word for the HR department. "Lax" work attitude is taken advantage of and managers take an incredible amount of unaccounted time off. Complete lack of business strategy. Fundamental lack of sales expertise or insight on managerial level. Expect to get taken advantage of.

Pros

Great culture, passionate people, friendly environment, and a hard-working team. Amazing archive of images to work with and an awesome office to work at! The head employees are intelligent and you learn SO much from there. This job has taught me a lot and I am still learning!

Cons

The only cons would be irrelevant to the job itself (i.e no snacks) :)

Pros

Loved the people, most empathetic management ever, but company needs to evolve its business model. The licensing industry has changed so drastically that revenue is extremely hard to come by. Beautiful workspace in SoHo.

Cons

Tons of turnover with zero warning. It’s like each new hire is expected to accomplish miracles, but the market is what it is.
