Pros

All the beautiful art and jewelry.

Cons

Abusive, sexist, ageist snobby pushy environment. If you are a woman over 40, they treat you like dirt. No one that I worked with had degrees in art, all business, psych, language degrees -then I see several years later they are lying on their resumes about having art degrees. HR has no respect for art education does not see that as a qualification. They will bend over backwards for you if you hav e an MBA.

You get to understand the various sub art markets and which auction houses are able to better sell an artist or style.

Not enough pay. It's miniscule.
