Copart reviews

Copart the company is a crap whole. Their prices are some of the lowest out there and the only reason why the buy vehicles is because they take advantage of people when they are most desperate. Vehicles they sell on auction sell way below wholesale prices. As a Vehicle Purchasing Agent the best way to describe this position is they over promise and under deliver. The current purchasing team is full of agents who were recruited using improper taxctics. (Ex. They show you old paycheck stubs of employees who made 75-125k a year. What you don't know is the average purchasing agent makes about 40k. ). They recruited many people away from VERY good jobs, and the entire team is distraught that they came to work for Copart. Many are leaving and those still in this position are job searching on the side. When the program started you could make 60+k but after many bad decisions the position has now changed and you become a glorified CS agent. They have combined 3 roles into one and you are over worked and under paid. The CEO and Upper Management are just a bunch of yard dogs who were in the right place at the right time. They have no idea what they are doing and took a purchasing program that used to Profit 2 Million a year, and thrown it into despair and they are now losing 500k-1 Million a year on the program. There was a reason why the Director or Copart Direct left the company in the Fall of 2011. I now view Copart as the worst mistake in my Professional Career and I am still recovering from this mistake.

The higher up management never give anything a chance to work. Constant changes and failed promises on salary, bonuses, etc. make for a very unstable and hostile work environment. No paid time away.
