Honestly, I know few reviewers and they earn between $1000-1500 and usually work about 4 hours a day with some experience. It might be low salary in USA, UK or Germany but it is a hell lot of money for such short hours in 90 % of the world. In my homecountry 2/3 ppl earn less for full time jobs! And it doesnt mean that people in east Europe or Asia are idiots and lazy workers.
wow...please let us know the name of that company that pays 1K-1.5K for 4 hours a day work?

I always thought the reviewers at iStock were chosen from contributors, I don't remember seeing them advertise for reviewers from the general public. Shutterstock used to ask contributors if they wanted to be inspectors I guess that's changed?
even that is a conflict of interest. reviewers should not be contributors or good buddies of certain contributors.
Eh, that's only in ideal world....agencies/curators do know very well which contributors are the top sellers and therefore have priority in that looooong queue.

Why are they posting publicly who got paid what? I wouldn't want anybody to know I got paid that much.
It's a great publicity for ImageBrief and photographers. I am sure they gave their consent to this shout. NDA is on the photos and name of the buyer.

Well you did ask, so I suggest you sack Lawrence and Simon because they are useless and in the case of Lawrence obstructive employees who are costing you money, contributors and a whole lot of good-will. Thanks.
It's not their fault. They were probably just following the instructions given from above, while working at several other jobs to survive, as their P5 salary is most def super low. A fish rots from the head down means that leadership is the root cause of an organizations failure and demise.

Plenty on this subject here...

for some reason this link works only if you copy and paste it in your browser. 
You need to edit the URL in the comment code because the part after the exclamation mark is missing from the actual URL.
No, it's all there (attachment)...but for some reason the browser is not recognizing it...hmmm

They must monitor this board. I got a e-mail from them today with a ticket number. I didn't contact them at all and had my pics reviewed shortly after the e-mail. I like the fact they took the effort to contact me without me contacting them.
But you did. You publicly called them out. If that's the way to get business rolling, good luck to all.

If you ever wonder why things are not going so fast at P5, maybe these photos of their attitude towards work will help you understand better.  http://www.glassdoor.com/Photos/Pond5-Office-Photos-E926933.htm"Sales, what sales?....Sorry we are too busy playing cards with our boss, we don't have time to read this thread.

Up until its recent price dip, I have made more on SS as an investor than as a contributor. We work in a free market economy. If we want to work with SS our only control over what we make is volume and quality of submissions. They have a right to make money and spend it any way they like. they can pay as much or a little to us as the market will bear. There may come a time when it just doesn't work to be a stock contributor with SS or any other agency there are other options for making a living in the imaging space, we are all creative people, we will find them. I don't see any agency owing us anything. Just a thought from someone who has spent way too much time in the business world and not enough time behind a camera.
They have that right, the question is it ethical?
The answer is NO.

I don't know why a company needs an entire floor of the Empire State Building, fancy design elements, massages, whatever else, to function. A gym, after hours health club, nice lunch room, I can see fringe benefits for better work environment. I'll stick with the rest who say, we paid for this...
It's all PR and probably a way to attract super young millennial generation to work for peanuts, while offering candies, massage and ping-pong.

Makes me feel like a minion working for cents whilst the Barons in the ivory tower drive round in their virtual Segway head machines.
I'd like to see the Istock office in comparison.
Me too... But what worries me more is that Low Earners can afford 30,000 square feet of swanky new office in Soho. "The New York-based company saw revenues of $19 million in 2014, up from $12 million in 2013, and has relocated to 30,000 square feet of swanky new office space in Manhattans posh SoHo neighborhood." http://techcrunch.com/2015/01/20/pond5-issues-80000-free-media-assets-with-the-launch-of-its-public-domain-project/It must be a fashion to possess big office which shows off your "success".

i imagine them all at ss HQ saying the same thing when reading this thread.
I don't think agencies read this forum, nor they care at all!
