Concierge Auctions Response
9yThank you for your review. We appreciate feedback from current and former employees.
We have never had an unlimited paid time off plan. We have an open paid time off plan that is subject to manager discretion. Concierge Auctions has a culture of ownership so we trust our employees to manage their own schedules, work with their teams to get everything done and do what they feel is necessary to meet their own personal goals. Schedules vary from team to team here but as long as you are contributing to the organization, we remain pretty flexible. With open paid time off, you can take the days you need but your manager can also ensure your bases are covered. We have 13 rather than 10 office holidays to help those who have trouble turning off while on vacation.
You are correct that we do not have a beer spigot. We have a filtered water fountain. We do not have free beer but employees sometimes bring some into the office at the end of the day for late meetings.
After our 2016 year end performance review process we promoted 13 employees which is 20% of our staff. Furthermore, 57% of the Senior Leadership Team consists of employees who started out in entry-level or contract roles and have moved up the chain to become amazing leaders of the organization. We strongly believe in promoting from within and investing in great talent. If you work hard at Concierge Auctions, the developmental opportunities are endless.
We offer employees an annual education stipend that they can use towards courses, conferences or licenses to ensure everyone is growing within their fields. We are rolling out more regular performance reviews in 2017 which we hope will open up communication and provide employees with more clarity around goals and developmental opportunities. We are also introducing several initiatives to bring further transparency into all processes so employees can understand the business as a whole and work as an entrepreneur in the organization.
