Pros

Excellent training at corporate. Worked with quality managers until they were terminated.

Cons

High management turn over rate. Business is driven by insurance companies. Insurance companies manipulate Copart. The true side of insurance companies comes out. They expect service beyond their SLAs and contracts. Insurance companies behave like jealous children with unrealistic demands. Every insurance company is jealous of the other. You see why rates are so high.

Pros

Can't think of many pros. Couple of genuine folks in IT management but no power to change anything.

Cons

Expectation to work overtime without being compensated. No paid time off for first year. No flexibility of working remotely. Constant change of direction causes confusion and loss of productivity. Rude and unprofessional behavior from ERP director and false promises.

Thanks for taking time to post and I am sorry to read of your dissatisfaction with your experience while employed with Copart. I can truly appreciate your frustration in the fact that the decision to abandon a major IT project, however it became evident that the product was not going to meet the needs of the organization; this unfortunately resulted in the release of employees. As a company we invest a great deal in attracting and retaining talented employees and historically have elected to hire employees rather than contractors for long-term projects and we do not hire with the intent of releasing that same talent a short time later. Following the change, the company took steps to actively help those who were displaced transition to their next opportunity. Copart has recently hired a new CTO and has taken the lessons learned to improve upon our technology staffing model for the future. I wish you well in your future pursuits.
