WHY GET CAMERAS?
We asked Gabriella why she decided to start working at GeT Cameras. She answered: “I come from South Africa and have a background in sales and retail. After many years and a very stressful period in retail I was ready for an office job. I was looking for a company that treated their employees as valued assets instead of an expense. The job description at GeT Cameras was looking very inviting as they were looking for English speaking candidates and celebrate a multi-national working culture.“The job she originally applied for went to someone else, but GeT Cameras saw her potential and offered her the position of Account Manager.
