Bad Management - Warehouse Associate Encore Auctions Employee Review

Easy to get hired, with frequent openings due to high turnover. Fast-paced environment that helps build efficiency and multitasking skills. For the most part, team members are generally supportive and work well together on the floor. Opportunity to gain hands-on experience with a wide variety of products. Most of the HR team are approachable, supportive, and genuinely helpful when issues are brought forward.

Recent management changes have led to a noticeable decline in morale and a more negative workplace environment. Work expectations are high compared to the level of pay, with pressure to maintain both speed and accuracy under tight timelines. Managers do not always follow their own policies and may intervene in areas where they lack direct knowledge of the work, leading to frustration on the floor. There have been instances where concerns about work ethic were raised without clear evidence or proper investigation. Communication from management can be inconsistent, and decisions sometimes feel reactive rather than well thought out. Significant staffing cuts have placed ongoing stress on remaining staff, who are expected to work longer hours and meet higher product quotas without added support or flexibility, creating an unsustainable workload and impacting morale and operations. Employment terms can shift quickly—contracts allow for mandatory Saturday work to be introduced at any time, with no clear end date, particularly during periods of operational strain.

The employees seem genuinely nice

Extremely poor communication. Told me I had the position, met with another manager next day for orientation, when I got home was told I no longer had it
