Pros

Nothing, absolutely nothing. Best thing I ever did was quit!

Cons

Where to begin? From the VERY low pay, the unreasonable deadlines and the TERRIBLE management it is amazing this place is still in business. They don't care at all about their employees, and even less about their customers. All the executives care about is making money and how they can screw everyone in the process. Being a manger in this place for a while I saw some very shady things. Those that manage the departments in that place have no business doing so, from the HR department who knows NOTHING about HR and couldn't care less about actually protecting their employees (hint that is what your job IS) to the marketing department lead by the most fake of them all - talk about lies after lies, no wonder everyone in that department looks like they are ready to jump. IT somehow is given an insane budget yet can't manage to be able to fix anything, FYI slapping a bandiad on a mess isn't fixing anything. According to the executives (who are NEVER there) the sales team is the only one who does anything in that place. Somehow they get the jobs of never having to do anything, or having to be in the office. Ops - what a waste! No one there knows anything!

Pros

It's close to Plano and Frisco.

Cons

Racial discrimination against anyone born in the United States in IT development area (Cobalt,RPG,SAP). I, my family and my parents are of Indian descent. Everybody in my immediate family were born and raised in Chicago metro area. I'm an outsider because I wasn't born in India and consequently socially segregated at work. No chance at advancement because of the location of were I grew up ("Too American" as stated by my co-workers) English is the second language in Copart's programming department. English is spoken only to appease the American born staff when they appear. There are less a handful of IT management & programming staff that were born and educated in the United States. Ongoing software development lawsuits (Sparta vs Copart). Years of missed implementation dates - 3 failed SAP implementation. SAP group is the ongoing joke in the RPG and COBALT development groups. SAP software developed by the Dallas and offshore staffs were laugh at by the German COPART operational staff recently and completely rejected (1 year development costs wasted). Good news for the RPG and COBALT development staff who support the legacy system that SAP is trying to replace. Offshore programming staff that produces little or nothing but are kept on because they are in India (Kickbacks to COPART IT management?). Senior IT management bragged about firing 20-30 IT staff members when I was hired and forced another 20 more out shortly he was hired. "Rama" (IT department head) was really proud of that fact. Offshore staff were hired shortly there after. In regard to the racial inequalities, the HR department responds with "We're in the process of correcting these problem". They're aware of the problem but can't do anything about it. The India caste system imported to the United States. It's the "Copart Way" of doing business in the IT software development department - "Institutionalize Racism". Found another job back in Chicago. Gave notice and left a couple of weeks ago. Worst 3 months of my career and life.

Pros

Copart is always hiring.... if you're that desperate.

Cons

Where do I begin.....TOXIC, unhealthy and horrible work environment. SERIOUSLY underpaid for the amount of daily work you need to do and all the nasty attitudes of the people you deal with on a daily basis both externally & internally. Your work is never good enough. No holidays. HR does not support, work for you or protect you at all-they're comeback is what could YOU have done better in the situation instead of addressing the issue at hand or the individual. Management is horrendous and pathetic at the yard I was at and is only worried about how you make them look to the Regional. For an online auto auction company the system that their employees are forced to use is so archaic and outdated it's hilarious.
