Thank you for your comments, we at ClassicCars.com are appreciative of all feedback. I am the Human Resource Manager at ClassicCars.com and we pride ourselves on providing a great work environment for all of our employees. In an effort to make this a great place to work, we have improved our company sponsored benefits every year as the company has grown, and we give out awards on a regular basis, to all employees, not just sales and advertising as you mentioned. We also provide healthy snacks to our employees on a daily basis and celebrate birthdays and anniversaries each month with lunch being brought in for all.
Our great team of workers coupled with a great strategic plan has resulted in us being named to the Inc 5000 fastest growing private companies two years in a row – 2015 and 2016! Our highly engaged traffic is now over 3 million a month and our Classic Car News has won an award as the second most influential automotive blog out of the top 100. We are extremely proud of our team!
With this type of track record and the passion based subject matter it is easy to see why people would like to join our company. If you have long term career plans this IS definitely the place for you.
To accomplish all of our objectives we constantly strive to onboard employees that are not only smart and accomplished but that also fit into our culture. To get the best candidates we realize we have to pay competitive rates. To suggest we don’t do so is simply not true.
We are very meticulous about adding new people to our staff. We hold multiple interview sessions with different team members, administer a reasoning test, call references, and run a thorough background check before hiring.
Once hired, we have a 90-day probationary period in which the employee is evaluated at 30 day intervals to ensure their success. During this probationary period new employees displaying negative work habits, that are not always apparent during the hiring process, are given the opportunity to improve on those deficiencies and get constructive feedback from their managers to ensure success for both the employee and company. As you can imagine we are not in the habit of keeping employees who under-perform. Thankfully, very few fall out during this process but unfortunately some do. We thank you for your feedback and wish you success in your future endeavors.
