M.S. Rau reviews

I work with great, dedicated people who have passion for their jobs. In the past 24 months we have undergone an evaluation of our human resource management and implemented many changes with the goal to make M.S. Rau Antiques an even better place to work. We've examined salary levels to determine we were in line with our marke and, if not, get ourselves in line. We've added a HR consulting company and have a representative onsite weekly to meet with staff, consult, train and guide. We are 106 years old and realize that we must keep evolving to keep up so we try to do that in all aspects from human resourced to technology to marketing.

Working at M.S. Rau Antiques for the past 18 months has been extremely stimulating and rewarding. In a position such as mine within the Sales Department, you may be asked to wear many hats on any given day--conducting research, delving into ongoing projects, completing administrative tasks, writing content for online distribution, even traveling to cities around the country for trade shows from time to time. Sales Department management does a fantastic job assessing your strengths, assigning tasks accordingly, and formulating special projects specifically for you. On the flip side, you will also be expected to work hard to overcome any weaknesses that you may possess. The great majority of M.S. Rau Antiques employees are gracious, exceedingly kind individuals. As with any company revolving around the sale of high net-worth merchandise, competition sometimes turns fierce and you will need to work well under pressure. You are expected to perform at your highest level day in and day out--you are simply not allowed "off days." Although I chose to resign from my position to pursue an educational opportunity, I plan to stay in close contact with the company and my colleagues-turned-friends, and I wish the entire team all the best. In summation, for any fine art, jewelry, or antiques enthusiast, M.S. Rau Antiques is a wonderful place to work!
