Pros

Great Company with Great people and great health benefits

Cons

I am very conflicted on writing this review. I loved what Auction.com was before the acquisition and believe it could be great again. 1. I felt that the leaders walked the talk 2. HR listened to us and that we had a voice 3. The employees were cared for and engaged. However, since the acquisition in late 2017, the company is very different, and not in a great way. Although I respect Jason as a leader, maybe there are a few things he is unaware of: 1. There is not as much autonomy as there used to be. Senior leadership need to trust your leaders, not just the ones that report directly to the CEO. We were successful before the acquisition and all of the new chiefs. 2. HR is very different. Many people feel like the new folks are not approachable and do not engage with the people of ADC. There is a lot of chatter on why we replaced a long time representative, one who was not connected to the people (unless you're a leader), with someone with the same bad attitude, some feel, worse. It is not good and many of us feel it. 3. I feel like there is a small effort to engage the people of Auction.com, but a lot of it is just fluff. Why don’t you ask the employees what they want and need to help them feel engaged? Morale is low. This is very hard for the many of us who were here prior to the acquisition.

We appreciate you taking the time to write this review. Once the acquisition took place, our company naturally changed. Under new leadership, new priorities took shape. With change comes new opportunities. But through all of it, one thing remains - we are committed to listening to our people and working with our leaders to help cultivate a rich culture where our employees can thrive at every level. Regarding your specific feedback: • We agree that great relationships start with trust. Trust starts with our senior leaders empowering their teams and role modeling trust so that it’s cascaded throughout the organization. We will share your feedback with our leaders. • With regards to HR, we have representatives in each of our three offices who are more than happy to answer any questions you have. The HR team has undergone similar organizational changes along with other parts of the company, yet remains 100% committed to supporting our employees while helping the business meet its objectives. • In terms of involving employees in engagement efforts, we administer a pulse survey on a quarterly basis to accomplish exactly this. We also pride ourselves on taking action from the survey results. Our next survey will be administered in early April and along with that will be a review of the last quarter and the actions we took to address specific feedback we received. We encourage you to make your voice heard by participating in the survey, and by sharing your feedback with your direct manager or organizational leader. You can also share feedback at: weareauction@auction.com. Thank you again for your review.

Pros

Great company, always growing and implementing new ideas to make the company better. Very receptive to feedback.

Cons

Not much opportunity to grow and very limited hours. Not a real part time job, it’s part time, part time. Just a little something extra.
