Undervalue long tenure employees

Pros

Great outlook and growth, innovative, focus on tech, childcare, gym facilities onsite. Stable company during a recession and pandemic.

Cons

Under-pay and under-value long tenured employees. Only offer higher salary when employee tries to resigns OR ends up paying replacement more $$. Just pay your loyal talented employees market rates. Whole HR team left so no one is focused on employee engagement/retention

Pros

Excellent benefits, exciting job, close knit "family" feeling at most locations.

Cons

If you are not willing to be all Orange all the time, you will not advance. If you are not one of the 'boys' you will not advance. The pay for anyone who is not is higher management or sales is abismal but you are expected to work and carry the responsibility of someone making 6 figures. There needs to be a change in the upper management in most of the divisions. RBA pushes safety, fairness and a harrasment free environment and that is not what you get. Safety is top of mind but long hours and pressure cause many to cut corners or be tired enough to get hurt. Nepotism is a huge problem in the company as is the promoting of 'drinking buddies'. People who have been warned or suspended for harrasment are sometimes brought back to work and those in higher positions are not dealt with if they commit harrasment.

First of all, thank you for sharing your feedback. We are extremely disappointed to read about your experience. When harassment and safety concerns are raised in our workplace, we address with the utmost priority and employee wellbeing in mind. We are very clear on our intolerance of workplace harassment in our policies, code of conduct, and regular, mandatory training for employees, and we have multiple avenues for addressing harassment and safety concerns directly with Human Resources, Legal, Executives and our Anonymous Employee Hotline. Safety is an ongoing focus for Ritchie Bros. and a personal responsibility for everyone. Our Safety Committee has read your comments and has taken this feedback very seriously.
