Pros

Competitive base salary, no bonus, ok benefits but not a large company so loss of numbers for health insurance premiums. Unless starting at the opportune time, there is a up to a year wait for 401K and 6 months for ESPP.

Cons

Management has no clue about employees or their work and satisfaction. Some new VP level management, talked to vendors about how Copart is making cash hand over fist (in more derogatory terms that Glassdoor does not allow). How unprofessional to talk to top notch vendors, especially if you are trying to get the best discount. Personal opinion says that some of the VP and above management are above their ability. A VP should not be looking at configurations, should have confidence in the employees doing the work.

Thanks for your post--I wanted to point out that, as an organization, we DO listen to our employees and have just completed an Employee Survey in which employees were asked to voice their opinions about working for Copart as well as asked to provide input into what areas they felt we did well and what areas needed the most attention. The data from the survey will soon be shared with ALL employees and we will be looking to our employees at all levels of the organization to help improve the workplace.

Pros

Work from home. Things are constantly changing. Positions open up but manager has to approve you and put your name out there.

Cons

My manager was very unhelpful when my position as a team lead was eliminated. I've been here 5 years plus before COVID and I'm back to square one. I feel there should have been a back up plan for us. They want you now to do the work that a lead does but for absolutely no more money.
