Pros

Good name on resume. Exposure to world-class art.

Cons

Exploitative, lack of mentorship, 70+ hour workweeks for minimum wage, hostile environment to POCs. Developed chronic skin condition due to stress and long hours. Do not work here if you value your physical and mental health. Consider that this is coming from a self-admitted nepo baby (as referenced in the other reviews) – unfortunately the mistreatment is that entrenched.

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.
