Pros

Good product needed in industry Some very nice people working hard to succeed

Cons

Too many chiefs looking to FIRE hard working indians as a FIRST (lazy) solution. Mature and entry level markets have monthly one-size-fits-all quota expectation? Focused on IPO vs. loyal employee talent development and retention. (shoot- ready-aim, keep shooting until bullets are gone and we have a mess) Company call on strong financial stability Friday; Fired 50%+ Monday without warning. Not 'trust and transparency', definitely not 'calm persistency' as preached. Back room deals on employees, promotions, commissions, quotas happen without notice or opportunity, and are wildly inconsistent. GlassDoor HR msgs and initiatives sent to "pump" ratings internally; misleading. Executive ghost leadership managing one number without visiting market once or understanding the employee's will and skill to succeed. Performance measurement is inconsistent, misleading, misguided and misunderstood by our managers and fellow employees.

ACV Auctions Response
5y
The Coronavirus slowed our industry down at the beginning of March and we unfortunately had to temporarily reduce the size of our team. Most of our affected teammates were temporarily furloughed and a very small percentage of the team was laid off. Our furloughed teammates have returned to work full time and our company is actively hiring across the country to keep pace with increased sales volume. We encourage our teammates to leave transparent Glassdoor reviews and we take all feedback seriously. ACV is committed to continuous improvement in all aspects of the business.

A dedicated team in every department every section, every inch of this company. Someone can help you. Management is responsive and engaged. Tech support is out of this world in how much knowledge they have.

Cons

Weather mainly, cant control it.

Pros

There are literally none. Maybe the health benefits. They don’t match 401k. Management is awful and greedy. Make you work in all sorts of weather and conditions, end of the month they pile a ton of work on you and expect you to get it done since the TMs (territory manager) gets paid off of what VCIs do, so if we’re not working, they’re not getting paid. The company doesn’t care about you, they keep putting new rules into play that benefits everyone else BUT the VCIs Also NO room for growth, at all. You can continue to apply for positions in house but never call you back. It’s a clown show here It’s awful, stay very far away

Cons

Everything about this company is a con
