Pros

- few good friends were made.

Cons

- SEVERE nepotism at site specific. People are hired and fired due to who they are related to or who they are friends with NOT capabilities. - NO accountability. - ignore policy and procedures for safe work environment (yard & office). Serious accident at site specific and was avoidable but there was NO management or direction in the yard from ROM or other managers. - immature and unprofessional behavior by management at GP site - requests for "assistance" or as they put it "complaints" regarding bullying etc ignored by management at site specific and "complainant" ends up being targeted by management. - damaging consignors property and cover ups to avoid responsibility. - NO work and life balance.

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.
