Pros

You can work as much as you want until they don't want you.

Cons

What you have done for them to help them grow means nothing. Time and dedication means nothing to them. They constantly surge ahead with business plans with little or no contemplation at all, and then employees are left jobless when they realize that their plans were not sustainable in the first place. Communication between levels is very poor. At times I can remember being instructed to never even speak to the CEO, no mater what.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We do value your contribution and are glad that you have stayed with us these past 8 years. You’re right: there was a period where we probably grew too fast and didn’t have the right structure or strategies in place to manage that growth. We learned a lot from that time and believe that we’ve made a lot of progress since then. I hope you’ll attend our next All-Hands meeting where we’ll update you on our 2014 performance, and share our plans for 2015 and beyond. I think you’ll see that we’re on the right path and we’re making sure to communicate our strategies and initiatives along the way, and to recognize great teamwork as we move forward. I hope you continue to stay with us and give us a chance to demonstrate that we do value you. I’m not sure who told you to not talk to me, but that’s just silly. I enjoy talking to our Auction.com employees. If there’s something you’d like to discuss, please do come say hello and talk to me. I promise, I don’t bite ;-) Thanks, Jeff Frieden, CEO & Co-Founder

Pros

The team I worked with was fabulous (with a few exceptions), smart, hardworking employees. Management of the CRE group WAS fantastic until upper managment made some terrible decisions and the group is suffering terribly beacause of it. (Even a PRO turns into a CON at Auction.com). They made some upgrades to the benefits package awhile ago which was a step in the right direction for a change.

Cons

Leadership is a joke. I have never seen a company run on such impulse and for the most part make terrible decisions about EVERYTHING. There is no consistantcy between the different locations, as much as management says they are chagning it I wouldn't believe it, they (the CEO) will get sidetracked with another grand idea and everything else will get pushed aside.
