Pros
There are no pros if your're hired from what they like to say "the outside". Your lunch time is only 30 minutes and they have the worst benefits for a company of its size. They make it known that they are hostile to people who don't have previous Getty experience. They would remind me that I was hired from the outside on a constant basis. The pay is adequate though
Cons
The Getty's rank and file hostility to people hired from outside of the getty, their benefits suck, as does their lunch time policy is asinine, with only 30 minutes for lunch, their benefits suck

Pros
Great company to work for.
Cons
There is no downside to Getty.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Large cultural institution with seemingly limitless possibilities and funding to make an impact in the cultural heritage sector.
Cons
There are limited growth opportunities and employer does not care about employee retention. Hierarchical and micromanagement work culture that leads to toxic behaviors. Safety of staff is not a priority. One of the first large cultural institutions to have their staff return fully in-person in September 2021 and did not return to remote during the Omicron surge in January 2022.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
This is a great place to work.
Cons
Nothing to report at this time.
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
The job its self is not hard but it comes at a price. Co workers help a lot with being able to bear the toxic environment, The visitors are ok security management is another story
Cons
No other staff respects you not even management from the same department. which makes it hard to get promoted to a different department. You are better off going somewhere else they don't want to pay a decent wage it will take someone 20 years to make just to make $24.

Old Archaic Blue Blood Exclusive It's great if you are willing to overlook all the things that make it great, also make it weak.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Nothing pretty much. It’s too white
Cons
Everything. From managers being racist to supervisors hiding in the parking lot and having sex down there not helping their employees
