nyse:kar https://www.indeed.com/cmp/kar-global/reviews May 11th, 2023 01:36PM Open Open Open KAR Global Sales Director Carmel, IN Biggest regret in my career was the time spent at this place What is the best part of working at the company? There is not one positive item I can find to mention. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Boiler room pressure to hit numbers on a daily basis with suffocating micro-management What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Cog in a wheel. No focus on development or growth. People are openly mistreated and undermined by senior leadership on daily basis. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Dread waking up in the morning, dread getting calls from my manager, dread having to attend team "performance" calls on a 3x weekly basis. 0.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 May 12th, 2023 12:30AM May 12th, 2023 12:30AM KAR Auction Services Consumer Services General Retailers
nyse:kar https://www.indeed.com/cmp/kar-global/reviews May 6th, 2023 02:12AM Open Open Open KAR Global Account Manager Remote Stressful job with great people floorplan finance - blah. corporate - BLAH. Usually short staffed covering a huge territory with limited support. Driving your own vehicle without a monthly allowance (FYI). Constant travel which is expected but salaried employees involved in Business Development are paid in bonuses without direct compensation for each dealership that you, the Account Executive do all the work to sign up and get active. The access to technology and reporting was great. Good experience with extensive corporate red tape......at every corner. 0.0 0.0 3.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 May 9th, 2023 12:31AM May 9th, 2023 12:31AM KAR Auction Services Consumer Services General Retailers

nyse:kar https://www.indeed.com/cmp/kar-global/reviews Mar 24th, 2023 01:51AM Open Open Open KAR Global Sales Representative Calgary, AB Questionable ethics - no direction Poorly managed from the top. They’re scrambling to catch up to competition by any means. Often misleading customers by offering services that only add costs and charges and nothing else. Will double charges on buyers and sellers. Often there are threats of cutbacks and they hold “bonuses” as a dangling carrot with unattainable goals to achieve them. Gotta love working with some sort impending punitive cutback on a bonus for not reaching ridiculous goals. 0.0 0.0 3.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 Mar 24th, 2023 12:31AM Mar 24th, 2023 12:31AM KAR Auction Services Consumer Services General Retailers

Do not trust corporate as they have their own incentives. However the people working in the field are generally great people.
