Pros
Sothebys is a good place for males and specific women (generally white) to rise in the ranks. The reality is that a lot of people that are more senior at this company are not exceptionally good at what they do but maybe abrasive and or lucky. The role I was hired for was entirely different than what I was expected to do. Okay fine - a pivot can be expected in any work place... but what was troubling was the lack of advice and direction from my manager. No one knows how or why anything works and or why it breaks. It’s a mess. Women are expected to look put together at all times while men are not and explain that it’s okay because ??? - Anyway I hope this organization can thrive and continue to provide overpriced art for the .0001% - it’s an interesting work environment catering to people while knowing you likely are making 1/1000th of what your clients and the senior male white execs are. The pros of this company are you can tell your friends and family funny stories of pretentious people (clients and colleagues) - also the cafe gives you 10% off so on that 30k salary you can treat yourself to a latte if you properly budget for it!
Cons
Women are underpaid, no clear direction, broken systems, rude people.
