Assistant Fleet/Lease Manager (Former Employee), Seattle – April 23, 2013
Pros: excellent benefit package
Cons: internal conflicts too disruptive
An ever changing company with long term growth expectations. Multiple weekly auctions leave zero time for boredom. Upper management positions tend to be short term depending on the current market status. Competitive and exciting would be the best descriptive terms for this company.
Detailer (Former Employee), Cicero New York – April 18, 2013
Pros: decent pay for uneducated workers
Cons: long days, non stop work, co workers arent nice and only care abou their check
decent money for detailing work,management and co workers suck, very hard tedious work.forced to drive for auctions at loss of money.days often cut short
Land of wrongful terminations - daily IT/ Finance departures
IT (Former Employee), Carmel, IN – April 6, 2013
Pros: a paycheck for your stress
Cons: c level confusion: lost at c....drifting from "get it done" to cut payroll
HR was just wiped out in 2012, 2013 leaves the leftovers stressed out. If you fail to get the dance right or offer ways to improve....you should start looking right away for another job. They have the longest list of smart people leaving on a weekly basis. Leaving means you were fired, Adesa must have plenty of Unemployment payroll. Looking for Frustration – more... and to be fired?
Auction your skills and get fired here.....more departures daily than any airport. – less
Detailer (Former Employee), Manville, NJ – March 14, 2013
Was cleaning, washing , and driving cars. I learned how to operate different type of cars. Management was always working and keeping everything organized. Co-workers worked hard and steady. The hardest part of the job was keeping everyone at the same pace. The most enjoyable of the job was finishing up the last car the last goal of the day.
Fleet (Former Employee), birmingham – January 14, 2013
Pros: fun atmosphere
Cons: should not recruit retail car salesmen with a tainted past into corporate management positions.
CEO needs to take a long hard look at some of the members of upper management within corporate. Those guys should leave local management alone and let them do their jobs. Most of the auctions GM's do a fine job running their auction and have done so long before they brought in Regional Sales Managers. They dont need Regional Sales Managers, its an unnecessary – more... layer with a high salary. Some corporate managers run short on integrity. It is catching up with the company, they better turn the vessel around and quick. They treat their employees like do do. – less

A productive work place with a lot of co-workers with many years of employment.
Account Manager (Former Employee), Moody, AL – January 6, 2013
Pros: team work invirment, good people you spend more time with than your on family and the dress code is casual.
Cons: i dont work there any moore!
A typical day at work is busy and productive. What I learned working at Adesa is every body works as a team player. All Management there are team workers too! The hardest part of the job is to make sure all your dealers are happy. The most enjoyable part of the job is when you make all your dealers happy with your performance.
Driver (Current Employee), Mercer, PA – October 25, 2012
Job entails being driven from auction house to car dealership, and then driving a car back to the auction house. Sometimes you get to deliver a car from the auction house to the car dealership. And every Friday is auction day, where you get in cars and drive them through the auction lanes for dealers to bid on, then park it and get in the next one.
Corporate does not monitor close enough. Management is very clickish, loves the Brown noisers a lot.

HIGH SCHOOL ALL OVER AGAIN
Everything (Former Employee), Mercer, PA – October 15, 2012
I started out at Adesa as an auction driver, which was surprisingly pleasant. Not enough hours though and the pay was minimum. I was then moved up to a condition report writer and that's when everything went down hill. The management was HORRIBLE and I couldn't understand why someone who didn't know our job was supposed to be watching over our work. – more... It felt like I was in high school all over again with all the employees talking smack behind each others back and what not. I was relieved when I got a job offer from a different company. I couldn't get away from that place fast enough! – less
Lead Van Driver (Former Employee), Little Rock, AR – September 6, 2012
Pros: number of work days
Cons: poor management, never having a set work time
A typical work day would include a very pleasant routine of transporting crews to car dealers to transport cars to and from the ADESA lot. The management was very poor in many factors, mostly decision making and handling issues within the workplace.. Nothing was hard or difficult about the job and I really enjoyed being around alot of the people there.
Outside Lot Specialist (Current Employee), Dallas, TX – August 20, 2012
Pros: freedom
Cons: no raises
Depending on what u get will determine overtime. Hardest part of the job not getting recognized for things u do. Co workers are fun. Most enjoyable is the freedom u get to get ur work done. Management is ok.
co-workers help each other by promoting a happy enviroment
lot coordinator (Current Employee), Dallas, TX – August 13, 2012
Pros: healthcare
Cons: no raises
I work in the element , the heat, rain , and snow. Which has become tolerable. I do have a great working relationship with my supervisor as well my co-workers. However there is not much room for growth and the pay does not fit the responsibilities I maintain. The hardest part is not being offered more money in the time that I have been there. I have – more... learned that I can succeed at anything , even under strenuous conditions. – less
