Pros
I have worked in a few different managerial capacities at Auction.com over the last 5+ years. The company has gone through several changes during this time, with the ultimate goal of becoming the leader in online real estate auctions. With that comes both good, and not so good, managerial decisions, which can ultimately have a trickle down effect on the employees of a fast-growing company. With that, the environment at Auction.com is very fast paced and rapidly changing. If this is not the work environment for you, you will most likely not have a positive work experience. However, if you work hard and feel comfortable in this type of work setting, the upward momentum is endless.
Compensation is above average for those that are willing to put in an above average work effort. If you possess the experience and credentials necessary to succeed at your job, and you put in the extra effort to achieve success in your position, amazing opportunities are available.
As with any fast paced company, there are managers in their jobs that were most likely promoted before they gained the experience and people skills necessary to be successful at their job. However, I have worked for some of the most talented managers here at Auction.com, who showed true dedication to their job and sincere consideration for their staff. I personally have never been "lied" to as another reviewer advised, but again, it's important not to confuse someone being dishonest with the company changing directions.
Cons
Since the company has always moved at such a rapid pace, the communication of new initiatives and company changes are often delayed in transit to the line level staff. This can be frustrating to employees, and can ultimately be perceived as the company not being forthright with information.
For myself personally, location is a con for me, as I drive about 60 miles into the office. However, the leaders to whom I have always reported have been flexible with my schedule.
