Pros

Decent pay for the area and benefits. That's about it.

Cons

Extremely micro-managed. In the time I worked there (3 years) there were 13 people who either quit or were let go. Managers and Regional Managers were always changing minds on procedures and blaming employees for their mistakes. Equipment was always in disrepair and we were expected to fix most issues on our own equipment with little to no training or tools. If worked overtime, would be forced to leave early as to not accrue the extra hours. Also we were expected to complete all daily assignments, while cross training in the position above us, with ONE loader running, and stay within the the 8 hr shift. It's literally not possible when you have 40+ cars coming in to receive, 40+ cars going out to load, and multiple cars to set in sale area, while stopping to fill loader tires with air 3-4 times daily because the company won't pay for new gravel or new tires on the equipment. Really, with Copart, you are just a number, and very replaceable.

Pros

Work from home. Things are constantly changing. Positions open up but manager has to approve you and put your name out there.

Cons

My manager was very unhelpful when my position as a team lead was eliminated. I've been here 5 years plus before COVID and I'm back to square one. I feel there should have been a back up plan for us. They want you now to do the work that a lead does but for absolutely no more money.
