Day to Day with Us

A typical workday begins at 8 am and ends at 4:30 pm with a ½ hour lunch. Because we are a deadline business, we sometimes have to stay late to finish work to meet our deadline or cash out the Auction. The team typically works a five-day week. There are occasional weekends to meet a deadline or if there is a live Auction. We operate in a fast-paced environment, which is difficult for some, but others get excited about the hustle.
