Great internship! - Recensione dipendente - Internship presso M.S. Rau

M.S. Rau provides an opportunity to work in a family-run, family-friendly environment with local flavor, but compete on a global stage. Recognized as one of the top competitors in the fine art/antiques/jewelry world, it is a constant challenge to "stay on top". If you like to work for the best - it is the place to be. Salary and benefits are in line with the market or better and are continuously reviewed. The company makes an effort to hear everyone's concerns and at under 50 employees that is actually possible. Plus you get to come to work every day and be surrounded by some of the most incredible art, antiques and jewelry in the world every day. The company stays on top of technology and strategy and tries to never stop growing and learning.

The biggest con to M.S. Rau is common to most small companies. As a small company with low turnover, you can not come to work here looking to "climb the ladder" - positions rarely open up and your career is probably going to be in the job you are hired into. The company values promoting from within - it just is seldom an oppportunity.

Many of the coworkers and mid-level managers are nice, The galley is beautiful. Its fun to be in the French Quarter. You learn a lot. The pay and benefits are better than a lot of places in New Orleans, but you'll EARN every penny of it through the sweat of your brow. The company will probably remain solid in this age of oligarchs.

They expect 24/7/365 availability. Your expected workload is beyond what any one person can do. No matter how hard you work, upper management thinks you are slacking. Nothing is ever good enough. And there is zero, absolutely zero, hope for advancement.
