EMPLOYEETESTIMONIALS
Working at Sullivan Auctioneers and BigIron Auction Company has been, and continues to be, a rewarding experience. When I joined, I was looking for more than just a job — I wanted an opportunity to grow, learn, and develop professionally. I’ve been fortunate to experience all of that and more during my time here. I’ve gained valuable skills that have boosted my confidence and opened doors to new opportunities.
Colette Kennedy
General Manager, Operations of Real Estate
Meeting new people on the road and seeing their farming operations has been the most enjoyable part of my job at BigIron. I'm a Nebraska farm girl, but I’ve learned so much more about how farming works in different parts of the country. I also love the travel aspect — I’ve visited at least 20 new states thanks to my job at BigIron.
Dani Olson
Multimedia Manager
I’ve worked at Sullivan Auctioneers since 2016, and when we were acquired by BigIron, the transition was seamless. It was easy to build friendships and connections with my new colleagues in Nebraska and across affiliated states. While there’s physical distance between the teams, I’ve learned that miles don’t separate strong relationships and shared goodwill. Everyone comes together to achieve the best outcomes — supporting successful employees and upholding clear core values. I’m truly delighted to be part of the Sullivan Auctioneers/BigIron team.
