We'd love to hear your ideas and have a number of ways for you to get them reviewed--The easiest is to post them to our online Innovation Forum which is accessible via our intranet site. Posting your innovation idea will make it viewable by all employees and managers and give them a chance to comment and "like" your idea. We regularly act on ideas from the innovation forum. Another way would be to talk to your manager. We want you to challenge the norm and bring new and innovative ideas to the team. If you have any questions about the Innovation Forum please reach out to your manager, a member of Corporate Affairs or HR.

Pros

Office Manager and General Manager were personable and nice people, even though they are also under a lot of stress and expectations, you have coffee and bottled water. the hours are Monday through Friday. Technology within office equipment and email , very current and well maintained. Great co-workers.

Cons

CSR Duties: Answer complex questions from adjusters for title issues, because title clerks don't have time and you are told not to bother the higher paid employees. Field non-stop phone calls from body shops, insurance companies, car owners and members with bidding problems, most are complex questions and the phone does NOT stop ringing. While doing all of the above you are also expected to watch a second screen of required outbound calls required to schedule pick ups of vehicles. You will need to calculate charges and call adjusters for approvals and issues. If you are doing the above and a call has managed to go " into the green" meaning someone didn't get to it fast enough, management will come out yelling at you to WATCH THE SCREEN!! While doing all of the above still, you will ALSO have to wait on customers that come in to the counter on a CONSTANT basis to take payments, pick up cars or come to get personals. You will have to put in work orders on a minutes notice and get approval for them, check in mail, keys, do roll changes, etc. You will have to check in buyers wanting to go out on the yard and check in insurance adjusters as well. All of which you get no credit for in your work day. You will be assigned what they lovingly call " side jobs" to also complete while still doing all of the above.iIf your side job isn't done on time you can't leave for lunch until it is complete, no matter how busy you have been with the other assignments. At the end of the day no matter how well you performed ALL of the above, you will be judged ONLY by how many calls in your assigned outbound screen you completed. You will be expected to have up 4 screens at a time working at all times. You are assigned a break but no one cares if you get it or don't. Remember that YOU CANT go to lunch if your work isn't done. So how often do you think people take break? You are grilled once a week on what you DIDN't do on calls for release. You get no recognition on how many customers you wait on, or how many questions from calls in you field, which takes a TON of your days time. This is not trackable and therefore management thinks doesn't matter to corporate. HOWEVER! You are NOT to let a customer go unassisted and people with in the office try to dodge waiting on customers so they can get more time on the phone lines. You also are NOT to let the phone ring over three times , EVEN if you are at the counter with a customer and everyone else is on another phone. This job is EXTREME high stress and the expectations are very unrealistic and demanding.

Pros

Interesting company to work for, great benefits. Interesting group of customers on both sides buying & selling.

Cons

You can't trust all local mangers, sometimes play employees against each other. If your not on the "favorites" list then you better watch your back. But it's done in sneaky manners so it's blind to some employees and other managers. So basically it's your word against the manager. Lots of eye rolling, loud mouths. Not very professional office environment. When you try to ask the manger a question, you're treated you're always a nuisance, or just ignored.

Thanks for taking the time to post a review. Copart is proud to offer our employees a professional workplace environment but from your comments it sounds like there may be issues that need to be addressed at your site. If you have not already done so, I encourage you to talk to your Regional HR Manager or to your Operations VP to discuss the specific issues that you are having so we can make sure that the high standards we have set for the company are being practiced.
