Pros

If you work hard, long hours and like to spend time kissing up to management, this is the job for you. It also helps to have a friend that's in management before you're hired on

Cons

When I worked for Ritchie Bros, I noticed that almost everyone was related to someone or were friends with someone and hired on. After seeing this, it literally sucks out the drive to want to get ahead, knowing that they promote from within (their family or circles of friends). I'm pretty sure one employee was supposed to be fired but ended up being demoted and floated around with no distinctive job title. All because he's friends with management. Any where else, he would have been gone. It is an unfair, unsafe and unprofessional place to work.
