      So Technologically Backwards It Defies Belief!

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I can't think of any pros--I hated every minute I worked there.

      Cons

      They are technologically about 15-20 years behind Manheim (their largest competitor) and they don't care. I was a Sales Manager there and my desktop computer still had a 3 and a 1/2 inch floppy drive THAT STILL WORKED! You will receive 50 emails a day, but your drive has no room, so have to delete 50 emails a day<--this is a royal pain! They still use Blackberrys!!! And the managers DO NOT CARE if technology is hindering your performance! On my first day I was handed a Gateway notebook from about the year 2000. I gave it back to them and said, "I'll just use my own." I was laughing so hard when I walked away. And training? The training program is a pat on the back and a, "Go git 'em tiger!" I kid you not, that IS your training! Empty promises! They will promise you the world to recruit you and maybe deliver on about 10%. When confronted about the promises the reply is, "Ah, we can't do that anymore." This place is a joke! Manheim absolutely NOTHING to worry about.
