old trucks, forever breaking down, there are new vehicles in the pipeline but, not for my yard.
area manager has never acknowledged any yard employee to my knowledge, no good morning, goodbye etc, GM has got better of late, now says good morning, someones probably had a quiet word.
work load for the drivers is unmanageable generally, even the management acknowledges that, we work flat out everyday, relentless pressure, was meant to get a floating driver, saw him once, he hated copart and we never saw him again. no work life balance, when stuff goes wrong you will have to prove you are not to blame, copart will try to blame you and seem to relish giving out warnings and punishment if you dare to question their authority, absent senior management ( never been to my yard in the two years ive been there. recommendations for above average performance never get past the GM, he just laughs, this is true because he does it in front of the staff.
GM is very vindictive. no one i know has a good word to say about copart, so we were amazed when the staff survey results were released, interestingly, negative results were not published, merely given a foot note as something that needs addressing
Do not know anyone in my yard that likes the company, some like the job, but yard salaries are not competitive, well below average, no career opportunities, company never look at staff cvs, they would be amazed at the stuff some members of staff have done before, and the qualifications held, me included. company keeps tinkering with benefits, ie share issue ( like we can afford to buy shares) lol, childcare subsidies instead of addressing the core areas, i wont spell them out, just apply your minds
