Pluspunten
Because it's smaller than Christie's or Sotheby's, I really had the opportunity to work very closely with everyone in the company. Especially before new management, I had no issues speaking to the CEO on a weekly basis, often daily during busy spells. Outside of the season, work/life balance is great. I have hope for the new management but didn't stay long enough to really see where it was going.
Minpunten
If you are not a specialist, there really is no room for career advancement. Raises are next to impossible to get. During high season, work load is incredibly challenging. I also had a particularly difficult boss, who was well-known by everyone to be quite a challenge. This person was nudged out the door shortly after I left.
