Auction Systems Reviews

I have been working at Auction Systems full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – This Company is growing in the US and the world. With a focus on culture, training, coaching for personal and business goals, and an emphasis on life/work balance with above average benefits and compensation, Auction Systems is the place to be and grow!!

Cons – I can not think of any

Advice to Senior Management – Keep growing and keep listening!!

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at Auction Systems full-time for more than a year

Pros – Changing work environment, interesting people, auctions can be fun. The actual auctioneers were great.

Cons – Low pay, job expectations were a moving target, unreasonable owner, frequent weekend work. Good accounts were cherry picked and given to one employee. HEAVY turnover. Inconsistent company values. Frequently dealing with extremely dissatisfied customers, who for all intents and purposes, were right.

Advice to Senior Management – If building an empire and being the Queen of that empire is the goal, then they have done a great job. If however, AS wants to make the company all it could be, they would be better served in putting aside their personal desires, and listening to, or hiring people who challenge their ideas. This could help make this company so much better. I enjoyed my time working there, but I am relieved that I moved on. Sometimes, principal is worth more than a job and a salary, even in this trying economic time.

Pros – I am a current employee of Auction Systems. From the top down, this Company cares about the employees. They show that through training, daily meetings and updates, feedback to employees, sharing information about the Company’s growth, skip level meetings, giving us information and the tools we need, and by providing access to a coach that helps with personal and business goals. The company continues to grow and employees who have goals to achieve more have been placed in new positions. One of my co-workers just became an Assistant Manager. I am an hourly employee and it bothers me to read the other reviews on this site. I think I know who has written those postings. Those are from the people who did not want to do what it takes to grow and achieve more. Those employees had bad attitudes, created drama, talked badly about the Managers and no longer at the company. I enjoy the opportunities here, the type of work, and the people I work with.

Cons – Not really any to me!!

Advice to Senior Management – Keep on looking for ways to make it a great place to work

I have been working at Auction Systems full-time for more than a year

Pros – I have the freedom to work at my own pace for the most part, and I work with some hardworking, fun people who make the days at work fly by.

Cons – There is no leadership in the company whatsoever. The warehouse manager doesn't really care, and we can't respect her. Morale is bad, especially in the warehouse, and has been for as long as I've been here.

Advice to Senior Management – The owner should stop focusing on her China location and concentrate on her Phoenix location, and hire some people with management skills. This could be a great place to work if she did a better job at retaining great employees instead of stifling their creativity, eventually forcing them to leave out of frustration.

Pros – The product is very diverse and your day is often dynamic. The workday can go by quickly with 2 standard breaks and a lunch. Some days are harder than others but you work at your own pace independently. Coworkers are a very close and fun group.

Cons – The management here is a mess with questionable qualifications. Managers constantly de-value and de-motivate employees. The owner is opening a China auction house and has no vested interest in her Phoenix warehouse. The managers do not grow their employees and lack leadership skills or ability to motivate employees. There is limited growth potential for employees and no raises (management told each employee they are capped at $11 and not to expect more) The company prefers to hire external candidates for new positions. Pay is subpar for the qualifications and a general warehouse order picker makes more money. No overtime.

Advice to Senior Management – Get in touch with the operations of your warehouse and address employee concerns. Increase skip level meetings. Develop employee retention programs to decrease attrition of quality employees. Stop moving around the dead weight within the company and give raises instead of rrplacing poor employees. Use Rick better to keep aware of the real employee relations issues and retain your quality employees.

I worked at Auction Systems

Pros – The job is never the same, always different and interesting, and the auctions are exciting. Its also near the freeway and easy to get too.

Cons – The company has no consistency anymore. Its like the owner and managers make up rules to fit their needs. They have started selling junk. I had a great manager who left the company earlier this year but since she's gone the place has changed and not for the better. I should have moved on sooner but because the economy is so bad I had a hard time finding a new job. I don't recommend this place as a good place to work even though it seems exciting on the outside. Its to stressful and the management doesn't value the people that work for them.

Advice to Senior Management – The owner and managers should have respect for employees, and stop makeing empty promises that aren't kept. Find some stability, and stop making up rules as you go along. Either listen to the management coach or get rid of him altogether, because the employees think he's a figure head and not really doing the management any good anyway since the place has gotten so bad.

Pros – For those who like an interesting work environment this is the place. There is always new product to deal with and great people to work with. They really try to help employees create a good and balanced work life and encourage people to visit with the full time business and life coach to reach both personal and business goals.

Cons – For those who don't like working weekends occasionally this isnt the job for you.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep listening, keep making things better!!
