Pros

-The front line staff are good people. They are what made working for Copart barable. -Okay Pay -ESPP

Cons

-Current employees in constant fear of losing jobs. -You will be expected to work many, many hours. You will also have to drop any prior commitments at the drop of a hat in order to satisfy managers. Your sick child will just have to tough it out. -Would rather over work/ underpay employees rather than hire additional employees. -Cut throat management and executives. They try very, very hard to pretend that they are normal, down to earth people just like the rest of us. Do not be fooled, management and execs will get you out of there faster than you can blink, and will literally lie to do so. Absent for your childs surgery? Sorry, fired. Absent due to pregnancy dificulties? Sorry, fired. 0 previous warnings or write ups? Yeah, you're fired. Family member dying int he hospital? Nope, too much work to do sorry. Manager just doesn't like you in general? Don't worry, they can just make up a few lies to get you fired. I saw all of these instances happen in front of me while I was there. I promise, no matter how much they pretend, they absolutely, do. not. care. about. you. -Quick to pile on additional work responsibilities (due to firing others), but not give any compensation for it. THEN once they see you can get that persons work done too, why would they hire another employee? You got it. -WIll hire 50 employees at a time, realize the project is not proceeding at planned, then get rid of them all. It's souless and wrong. There are many more examples, but these are just some of the golden ones. -As mentioned above, there are not enough employees, which leads to, during the absense of one, it being a mad house to try and get all of the work done. -They will promise you that there is SO much advancement oppurtunity. Which is a lie, they also don't tell you that you better know the right people in order to see any sort of advancement, otherwise, just shut up and do your job.

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.
