Christie's- quality place to work and learn

Junior specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

At Christie's you will be given a lot of responsibilities from the start and should expect to learn a lot. As a speciliast, I could develop relationships with key contacts in the art world and learn about the research, pricing and effective marketing of art.

Cons

Christie's has low salaries relative to other industries, however it may be one of the highest paying jobs in the art world. Expect to work long hours at times; as a specialist you will work weekends during the catalogue deadlines and right before the auction. The job can get stressful due to the many deadlines (e.g. catalogue production, marketing, tours, exhibition setup) associated with the auction.

Business Outlook

Pros

A varied, challenging job that allows travel, art and access to the most interesting collections in the world.

Cons

Though the employees are very dedicated and have great educations, the pay is pretty low until you make the higher ranks in the company. Hours are also very long and travel is a huge component of the job, making it difficult to balance life and work. Jobs in the higher ranks are very competitive to get, making it difficult for most within the company to advance quickly.
