Pros
- Decent crash course in auction industry (6 months and you will have the basics down) - They run a lean ship, expect to learn how to do everything on your own (which some might consider a positive) especially if you are the lone Specialist for a 'department' or sub-division - Interesting inventory (if you ever have time to see it)
Cons
- Terrible management, the most disorganized company I've ever worked in with most departments with no one at the helm - Compensation fraud, I was lied to about my bonus and never received it, I had it in writing and it didn't make a difference, watch out for that - Long hours, expecting FT employees to work 8am-9/10pm and never take PTO is a horrific way to treat people - Chairman and leadership do not take Covid-19 seriously and have asked employees to 'take your masks off' and 'show your faces' while in the office. Putting new employees on the spot like that is not okay. - Subpar working conditions with the NY offices offering a few seats in the basement of their headquarters and open office hot-desking, and LA offices consisting of dust covered cubicles (bring your own office supplies because Bonhams wont offer you any) -
