Great job, not appreciated by higher ups

Pros

I love the people, I love the job. The auction circuit is fascinating - I get to handle all sorts of beautiful, precious art, decor, pieces of history, etc.

Cons

Nobody above a supervisor level can see the world below them at all. They don't understand that their greed and desire to copy Sotheby's and Christie's at the lowest cost possible makes their employees lives extremely difficult. Employees are doing the work of what should be 3-4 employees and are expected to be grateful for a pittance of a wage/salary.

Great exposure to property

Pros

Ability to see artwork and pieces one would rarely ever see. Education in different cultures and arts.

Cons

No support, very absent management, no training whatsoever. Tasks thrown at you to see if you can handle it and not complain. Serious lack of compensation and very low wages. Extremely low morale. Executives interested in being seen as a high end company when in reality, its only in the very middle to low end.

A ship without a captain

Pros

Amazing items come through with great history. Work with great clients.

Cons

There is no leadership. The management is non-existent; I believe that the leaders in NYC, London, and Los Angeles are actively trying to destroy what was once a great brand when Butterfields. Employees are beyond overworked; when someone leaves, no one is replaced. Instead, more work is heaped on staff that already has too much to do.
