Pros

I loved the job, travel was phenomenal and getting to meet and work with so many different international people was really cool. Didn't have to pay rent or bills while on the ship because you don't need anything

Cons

Park West Gallery is composed of crooks, liars and they treat their employees like garbage. frequently broke international maritime law in regards to 14 hour work day limit. company does not care at all whether you get a crappy manager or one who an teach you pay is pathetic until you're promoted to auctioneer, and even then the fines that roll in are ridiculous upper management does not communicate well with ships. 7 day work week on the ships but only 5 day workweek on land. they desperately need someone in miami who works weekends as ALL of your ships need assistance

Park West Gallery Response

We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the perks of traveling and saving money while working onboard. We are very disappointed to hear that you felt you weren’t treated properly. At every training, we have a session to discuss ILO, timekeeping, and labor laws, and we there are compliance reviews to ensure our Auctioneers know to uphold these rules. Auctioneers have also been terminated from cruise lines for violating these laws as the cruise lines are required to uphold these laws as well. We do really care if someone is not a good manager, which is why we have confidential Auctioneer evaluations to ensure we have the right people leading our shipboard teams. Additionally, we have a shoreside manager that is on duty all weekend, every weekend, to provide that support that may be needed to ships or those that are traveling onto or off of a ship. We stand by the quality of our art work and the artists that we represent. We do not sell mass-produced posters, however we do have some free works of art that we give as prizes that are open edition graphic works of art, and these are not hand signed. Important to note that we do not sell these, we give them away as prizes.

Pros

Working for Park West on both cruise ships and for VIP events has been an incredible experience. When you first start, the company provides amazing training that helps set you up for success. You will travel all over the world (on ships) or across the US to many major cities (VIP) and the job allows you to see amazing places. I have traveled to more countries and cities than most will ever do in their lifetime just through my career with Park West. The job itself is genuinely fun - it's not just standing around, we sell in live, fast-paced auction environments which keeps things constantly new and exciting and no day is ever the same. The actual sales part is also rewarding - we're not just selling retail 'products' - many of our collectors buy the artwork because it means something to them or they've had the chance to meet the artist directly and it's truly rewarding to be a part of that experience.

Cons

Working long contracts on ships can be tough (working 7 days a week) where you are away from home and your family often time over holidays. However if you go into this job understanding and prepared for this aspect the reward is unbelievable. You may work very long hours on days at sea however the next day you may only work a few hours after spending all day exploring incredible parts of the world in Europe or Asia. There is also quite a lot of travel involved on the VIP side however nowhere near as much time away from home as on the ships. Although the travel can be tiring, if you don't want a traditional 9-5 office job then this is a great role and opportunity!
