Pros

Beautiful art/objects. You meet some really interesting and wonderful people through working on various teams.

Cons

This company is going downhill fast. Lots of drama and gossip likely due to dissatisfaction with work, pay, and overall treatment by the company. People are very unhappy here because they are acutely aware that the company they work for does not care about them. They value money over everything, even so they often do clients wrong as well (withholding payments, refusal to admit wrongdoings, etc.) The only thing saving them is their legacy and even that is holding on by a very thin thread.

Pros

You get to understand the various sub art markets and which auction houses are able to better sell an artist or style.

Cons

Not enough pay. It's miniscule.
