      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.

      Smart women beware

      Pros

      Good childcare facility, opportunity for travel, in house cafeteria which is need as the office building not in a great location for eating out

      Cons

      Its not a company that encourages or promotes women. It has a culture that is very 1950's male dominated and they are very proud of that. Politics are nasty and very much based on who you know and if you fit in with the culture. Bullying its both accepted and rewarded. Training and education are not a company value with a bias towards rewarding the" hero" who comes in and through brute strength saves the day rather than valuing those who want to work towards problem prevention and avoidance in a thoughtful manner. Very John Wayne. I have seen a number of smart well educated women leave the company because they are not moving up the ladder. Some have been fired for just not fitting in or for questioning the status quo or proposed action plans. Much of the male management are not well educated and don't appreciate education in others. Especially being told how to do something by a girl. (BTW I am a male so this is not just another girl being a cry baby) Its not a place for any smart, educated and ambitious women to progress in their career

      Unethical employment practices

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Corporate head office is located in Burnaby, BC and provides on site day care, a gym and free parking. Standard benefits package provided. The company is already successful and established in it's industry and does not need to work hard to be lucrative, it generates revenue year round and year over year consistently.

      Cons

      No pension plan. Non union. No job security. Buddy system and dishonest management supersedes ethical employment practices which in turn creates a toxic work environment to include discrimination, work place bullying and harassment.
