Copart reviews

-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.

old trucks, forever breaking down, there are new vehicles in the pipeline but, not for my yard. area manager has never acknowledged any yard employee to my knowledge, no good morning, goodbye etc, GM has got better of late, now says good morning, someones probably had a quiet word. work load for the drivers is unmanageable generally, even the management acknowledges that, we work flat out everyday, relentless pressure, was meant to get a floating driver, saw him once, he hated copart and we never saw him again. no work life balance, when stuff goes wrong you will have to prove you are not to blame, copart will try to blame you and seem to relish giving out warnings and punishment if you dare to question their authority, absent senior management ( never been to my yard in the two years ive been there. recommendations for above average performance never get past the GM, he just laughs, this is true because he does it in front of the staff. GM is very vindictive. no one i know has a good word to say about copart, so we were amazed when the staff survey results were released, interestingly, negative results were not published, merely given a foot note as something that needs addressing Do not know anyone in my yard that likes the company, some like the job, but yard salaries are not competitive, well below average, no career opportunities, company never look at staff cvs, they would be amazed at the stuff some members of staff have done before, and the qualifications held, me included. company keeps tinkering with benefits, ie share issue ( like we can afford to buy shares) lol, childcare subsidies instead of addressing the core areas, i wont spell them out, just apply your minds
