Pros
- the name looks good on a resume - your ID gets you into pretty much any art museum in the world - crazy cool art - I've never felt as good as I did the moment I quit (without even having another job lined up just had to get out asap!)
Cons
- working conditions are so bad that whole departments will quit at a time after requesting better working conditions and pay and sothebys just says no - expected to work 12+ hrs - their overtime system is such that you have to work 2x the hours to get paid for 1/2 the over time (if Monday is a government holiday and you work 12 hours on Tuesday you will not be paid any over time, will have to work 9+hrs over time to get paid 1+hr of overtime) - reprimanded for taking time off after a close family members death - was yelled at on my second day by management (theme through out) - a client quite literally threated to track me down on social media, harras me and smear my name for a shipment not arriving the day after they paid and management's response was to ask why I didn't give them what they wanted - 'bonus' was a literally facetime with our manager saying thank you - MASSIVLY under paid, not a livable income even if you arent living in NY and commuting - was expected to still work even when I was very sick which a high fever - had physical health issues as a result of the amount of stress and hours worked
