Pros

Financially stable company, good benefits, nice building (head office in Burnaby), gym, daycare.

Cons

When I was to join Ritchie Brothers I have seen negative reviews and opted to ignore them. You will find them for every company. How bad can it be?... Well, my bad. Very profitable auction business and luck of competition have created a culture dominated by an “autistic boss” mentality. It would not be so bad if the “bosses” are leaders and influencers. Synergy between different groups is very low, employee engagement too. There is always someone else to blame for lack of progress.
