Pros

The culture of change and growth will either make you a strong and determined leader, or burnt out; the choice is yours. Associate involvement is huge. You can make a difference, just look up the stories of the founders and executives.

Cons

HR is inept. It is what you make it, so if you are lazy, bitter, or negative; you will fail.

Pros

I really like working for Copart. I have been here for almost a year now and nothing has been a surprise to me. From the first conversation I had with a Copart recruit, they were very honest about the job. It's your average 8-5 job but yeah you do overtime during the busy season just like any employee would. The people I work with daily are good people they work hard. Employees get stressed and sometimes frustrated but that's any job and especially when a company such as us is growing. This job is a job you want when you want hard working employees, when you want a challenge, and when you want to embrace change.

Cons

Copart can be challenging because you have to be capable of wearing more than one hat. You don't just have one basic client/ customer. At Copart you have to please your sellers and your buyers. It can be stressful if you let it be. You have to enjoy what your doing because it will show through the quality of work your doing.

Pros

Great company to work for. However the department I was in, was a new venture for Copart. This company holds auctions all over the world for vehicles. They are best known for insurance salvage vehicles. They also get clear title vehicles and even some clean classic cars.You must be a licensed dealer or get one to broker the deal for you. They charge a $25 one time membership fee and require a deposit to bid.

Cons

They dipped into trying to acquire salvage cars from Hurricane Katrina. They had a call center built to bring in more business for COPART. This department was very unorganized and expectations was unrealistic. Management was more concerned with numbers.

In mid-2013 the Company did acquire a business which included a call center and relocated call center services to the new facility resulting in the consolidation of a number of small, satellite call centers. Employees of the affected centers were offered the opportunity to continue their career with Copart either at the newly acquired facility and were invited to apply for any openings across the company for which they were interested in being considered. Unfortunately not all employees in the affected call centers were able or willing to relocate or pursue a different role within the organization. In situations where layoffs take place we make every effort to place interested employees into open roles.
