Pristine Auction Reviews

Pristine has a close-knit upper level management who may be lacking in regard for their employees individual success. If you can get hired...you can be replaced. There is an extreme pay gap between upper level management and their immediate subordinates/all employees. In some cases the men in these upper level management roles are being paid 2-3x more than their employees managed. It’s worth noting too some of these men in these roles have zero prior experience to the field or role. If you can fake it, you can make it. There was a money hungry nature that the employees felt from upper level management. Employees struggling financially while seeing new cars appear in the management parking area, hearing about long vacations and all expenses paid business trips. Employees were constantly gaslit and held in limbo about pay and anything money related. I don’t think upper level management was aware exactly how much information their employees actually found out about. No one was ever brave enough to confront them on it. People were afraid of losing their jobs for standing up for fellow employees or questioning aspects and practices of the business. This is dysfunctional. - Lower level management was constantly in limbo from higher ups and therefore couldn’t provide needed support to their employees - Lack of transparency in company direction, mishaps, shortcomings, financial standings - Employees always expected to pick up slack with no accountability for the consignor or fellow employee responsible. - Upper level management hiding their own mistakes - Patriarchal and narcissistic management styles - Sexual harassment cases dealt with irrationally and still employed the accused - Upper level management had created an environment that made employees afraid or reluctant to address concerns, raise questions or suggestions - Gaslighting employees into complacency then question why morale is low - Uses the “we’re a small business” “we’re growing” as an excuse for any situation they didn’t feel like mitigating. - Non-competitive pay and unwillingness to give raises when the company has increased its revenue by 10-20 millions of dollars year after year. - Positions opening and being filled by people from within the "fold" and usually men. (Again with zero prior experience) Upper level management then being frustrated with hired managers for not producing the work they expected. - An upper level manager who is still employed at Pristine lied to, harassed and gaslit multiple employees. When discussed with HR and other higher ups it was taken seriously and recognized as abusive but were told it was up to the owners to address. A large number of employees raised personal concern about this same manager when news spread of his actions. To my knowledge no comment, follow up or accountability from the owners was ever made to those victimized - Unprofessional management practices (reported but no accountability) - Employees have witnessed upper level management eavesdropping/listening outside doors of private meetings - Listing employees had pay and compensation changed multiple times to benefit quantity over quality. Quality went down and management was unhappy with the team - Micromanaging of production roles like listing and shipping - Lots of overtime expected/insinuated of employees - Poor communication with downstairs teams. Employees left feeling out of the loop and out of control - Production role employees are held to a different work ethic and standard than those in offices upstairs - Upper level management displays cowardice behavior in communication and employee management. It’s as if they are scared to make decisions and afraid of displeasing the owners - COVID-19 was treated as a conspiracy theory until state mandates came into effect Pristine Auction is deeply troubled by cowardice behaviors, unprofessional management and a seemingly unconscious disregard for the success of their employees inside and outside the company. Pristine Auction has proclaimed religious ideals but operates in a way that does not uphold these values when it's convenient for them.
