Pros

Excellent pay and benefits, leader in technology in auction industry

Cons

Too much favoritism shown towards certain Managers from the HR Department, which makes taking any issues up to the next level in the chain all but impossible. If you do choose to voice your frustrations to HR about those certain Managers, it will backfire in your face. Manheim says they have a zero retaliation policy, but that doesn't help you if you speak out against someone higher up that you. Survey result "meetings" are nothing more than lip service, as the same issues keep getting brought to the attention of Sr Management, but the same offending Managers continue to skate by while avoiding any disciplinary actions. Case in point: the department had a meeting to go over the Survey results. Present for the meeting were the Department manager and supervisor, and both HR representatives. Instead of us being allowed to explain why we graded some of the categories the way we did, we were told that "You obviously didn't really understand the question, as we feel Manager X and Supervisor Y are doing a great job".

Pros

Flexible scheduling, and plenty of volunteer time, if you need extra money in your pocket - the ability to use your cell phone - have a lot of freedom without people looking over your back directly. But they're constantly scouring the lot watching. They call it policing the lot

Cons

Little room for advancement unless you are young - managers act like they're bi polar smile at you one minute and give you a dirty look the next - GM is very toxic and is a liar. Compensation is only slightly over minimum wage - company makes billions in profit - work outside in every weather condition, whether it's pouring rain and 5° or sunny and 100°
