Auction department - Anonymous employee Alex Cooper Employee Review

Family business and great people

The position I was hired for was eliminated within 6 months.

I worked at Alex Cooper full time for almost two years in their auction department. Alex Cooper was a great place to work - I learned a lot professionally. I met many interesting people and formed bonds with clients. I was also able to develop my own interests/skills working with different objects. The specialists there are very knowledgeable and happy to share their interests, research, and experience with their peers and customers. The auction schedule is fast-paced, so every day was different - whether I was driving with a colleague to PA or NYC to look at potential items for consignment; facilitating a move of objects to the storeroom; or cataloging objects for sale. Overall, it was a good place to work. My salary was competitive and benefits were good.

Intense schedule leading up to auctions
