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.

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.
