Technology Leader - Technology Manager Copart Employee Review

I was sorry to read that you were unable to find anything "pro" to say about your time with Copart, and after reading your post I wanted to attempt to address a few of the points you raised in hopes of clarifying some facts that may have been omitted. It is true that, as an organization, we have made some difficult decisions over the past few months and that we have realigned our technology team staffing model. I do not, however, believe your post accurately reflects the environment we have at the Corporate office nor within any of our field locations. We do not view our employees as "dispensable resources" but rather as members of the team whose work and talent helps us continue to offer our customers a superior buying and selling experience. As we made the difficult decision to eliminate certain roles from within one of our departments, we made every effort to treat each of the impacted employees with respect and are making every effort to assist them in finding the next opportunity for them to showcase their talents. I noticed that you listed yourself as a "former employee" in your post and must conclude that you were one of our employees impacted by this recent layoff. It is understandable that you would not be happy with that outcome; please know that these decisions are not taken lightly nor are they reached without a great deal of consideration. I would like to re-extend our offer of assistance to you and encourage you to contact me by phone (972-391-5185) or email (rory.seidens@copart.com). The benefits offered to employees are not "horrible" as you describe; in fact, they are by many measures market leading. In a time where companies have reduced benefit levels and raised employee contributions in order to manage costs, Copart has actually added benefits and made the conscious decision to keep the cost to their employees low. The company offers a very competitive Benefits program for our employees, providing high levels of coverage for very low premiums compared to the market. We also continue to offer our employees several programs to save and invest for their future--Matching 401k, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, Tuition Reimbursement, College scholarships for our employee's children, and much more. I hope that this helps put a few things into perspective and wish you luck and much prosperity in your future endeavors. Rory Seidens Vice President, Human Resources
