The 40 % gender pay gap says everything about how this company is run.
|
|
it's a great place to learn and develop knowledge as aspecialist
|
hugely competitive, horrendous work place culture, extremely stressful with unrealistic targets, very low pay and no prospect of that changing. no diversity whatsoever. bad employee retention.

Best Colleagues Ever!
|
|
Amazing colleagues, antiques, unique items of all kinds, good 401K matching , commuter check program, and health benefits. Everyone cross trains between customer service, front desk, and cashiering. Staff also travels to other Bonhams locations to staff auctions. Very team oriented.
|
Salary is not great and once in a position for a long time it’s hard to be promoted. I wanted to do more for Bonhams and didn’t get the opportunity. That said the company has been sold since so could be different now.

Simply saying “you are doing it wrong” is not helpful between teams. Listen to those in client facing roles. Pay a bit more not just in the form of bonuses.

Good place to work

FT staff is super nice. Great job to have to add experience to your resume
|
A lot of downtime during sales depending on what department you're in. Some departments let you help out with administrative stuff or the specialists while other departments just make you sit around until clients come in.

How Sustainable is this?
|
|
The people are very nice and those that love what they do are great at it.
|
It's a very strange place where there is a stark disconnect between management and employees, and I would imagine disconnect amongst senior management itself. The entire company is encased in this completely surface level facade of positivity, opportunity, 'everything's alright, we're doing great, business as usual!' But the company's actions tell a different story. Senior management consistently (and I mean, at every opportunity) use Sotheby's and Christie's as benchmarks for comparative analysis. We are basically instructed to compare ourselves to Christie's and Sotheby's in every way, except when it comes to pay, resources, talent........
We are always reminded of how we need to be doing just as well as other houses, but management conveniently forgets that we don't have the resources, we don't have the departments, they don't pay enough, and therefore cannot attract the talent needed to get to that place. In fact, those that are committed to bringing results do so, significantly, and are met with words of praise. Unfortunately, words of praise don't pay my bills, and I feel taken advantage of. I am being asked to outperform competition with absolutely no support! I have over the past 3 years led impressive and significant sales for this company and when, after 3 years of zero pay adjustment (even minimally), I asked for my salary to be reviewed, I was met hard stop and treated as if that was a completely outlandish request. Please note that I am middle management here. It's all very disheartening.
It's clear senior management has zero idea how hard it is to work under these conditions, or perhaps most likely, they just don't care.

Advice to management - give employees, or prospective employees, a reason to actually want to work here, do well here, and commit here. You cannot expect people to go above and beyond when you refuse to meet them even 1/4 of the way. Absolutely no motivation and management has shown that even if you do go above and beyond, you won't receive anything other than a congratulatory 2 sentence email... so what is the point?
Advice to prospective employees - really consider why you're taking this position at this company. If your priority isn't art above all else, then you should not work here. There is little to no upward mobility, the pay is insulting, there is little to no support, and it's hard to do your job well in that situation.
