Pros
Helps artists figure out pointers of what types of art styles sell better than others. Provides some support in artist development. Some artist managers are very professional, experienced but they lost them due to understaffing, lack of support and new managers are not as trained.
Cons
- business oriented and do not care much about their artists
- would promote artists' works but not as much as they promised. They "grew" a lot by contracting many artists but each individual artist becomes less important now.
- takes advantage of artists by adding unagreed costs prior to splitting commissions.
