Good place to be

Pros

I think ADESA has a good work to life balance. The atmosphere is pretty relaxed and casual. They are working on building a sense of community at the corporate office. Overall good people to work with.

Cons

For entry to mid level employees, pay scale is below market and raises are "cost of living" raises at best. This is despite the company performing very well. All spoils go to upper management in the form of bonuses and stock benefits and share holders through dividends.

Pros

The people you work with are amazing!

Cons

There are so many upper managers that have not grown with the business and are intimidated by any new ideas that they swap down any new innovations.
