Pros

The pay is ok to above market for IT. Casual pace and not much pressure. Web team is using new tech, iPhone development is new.

Cons

CIO and Chief Architect is clueless. If you want to work on poorly designed DB2/AS400 systems that come from the IBM 360 era this is the place for you. Java/web team has their act together but the database architect has no idea what he is doing. AVOID this place unless you just need a paycheck and can tolerate incomptence.

Pros

Job security - - - the field in which Copart operates is almost recession proof. Lay offs are almost unheard of . . . however, terminations are not. Copart operates over 125 yards world wide and is, more or less, the Wal-Mart of the auto salvage yard industry. Additonally, Copart continues to seek a competitive edge throught the development of technology. Advancement opportunities exists but may require relocating. Promotion from within the organization is encouraged. The coporate headquarters attempts to foster a family enviornment where everyone knows everyone and intra-regional assistance is easily accesible. Its not heaven but its a job.

Cons

Depending upon the region, management works long hours. 70+ hours are not unheard of. Turnover among hourly yard personnel can be extremely high. Salaries for managers below general manger do not compensate for the number of hours spent working. Promotions opportunites exists but nominations rest solely with the regional manager. If based uopn measurable performance it is done so fairly, however, most of the promotions I've witnessed within the region I was employed was based upon the personal preference of the regional manager. As was terminations. The morale of the yard is based upon the management style of its regional manager.
