Pros

The people and experiences of the company are great. Auction day is like a sporting event with a lot of excitement. Good opportunities to travel and make overtime pay.

Cons

Work life balance can be challenging. Expect to work at minimum 2 weeks straight prior to sale day with potential of long hours depending on size of sale. The company is all about sales and operations team can be left out in cold on customer issues.

Work in an environment where you walk on eggshells every day; hoping you don't p*ss off the boss

Pros

Honestly, can't think of anything. There is a subsidized cafeteria on site in their head office. The portions are small and they serve these overpriced meals repeatedly week after week. Free coffee/tea.

Cons

Ritchie Bros. management is highly skilled in creating disgruntled employees. Employee turnover is extremely high. Company hires staff on contract to avoid compensating employees fairly. This company is primarily successful due to lack of market competition; however, times are changing. Working here was an absolute low point in my career. A HUGE REGRET.
