Pros

After reading all of the reviews I want to set things straight: Saturdays are required, but I get three day weekends every other weekend. There is a lot of cleaning and maintenance, but they told you that up front in your interview. There is amazing room from growth, and they like to promote from within. If they aren't promoting you, you're doing something wrong. As long as you go in every day and do you job, it's not hard. I have a 40+ run down property in a horrible part of town and I love it. The work is easy as long as you know how to follow rules.

Cons

It can get a little gross sometimes - roaches, moldy mattresses, human fluids. Auctions can be hard but only if you're a bit emotional (this is business after all) - even though it's hard, you can give people options. Some customers ask for the moon and you obviously can't deliver. There is a lot of change all at once and sometimes it is hard to keep up. Benefits are a bit expensive.

Pros

Job stability and bonus checks. Hours are decent to have a life on occasion.

Cons

You are the janitor, must work hard and most of the time alone

Pros

99% of the time the people you work with area really great people. There is quite a bit of down time if you can get things done quickly. Learn data entry and sales and other useful skills.

Cons

Pay, short lunch. Grey area of "requiring" people to purchase insurance plans and meeting quotas. If you are not living on-site or plan on working for 6-12 months to achieve on-site management I wouldn't recommend.
