Pros

good pay if you have a good route and bust your back, health benefits are good weekends off

Cons

Management has no idea what is really going on get out of your office and get to know your employees and the problems that are a large part of the turn overs at LKQ, its all about the numbers and the bonuses , example they have let the truck fleet go down so bad the trucks are unsafe to drive they have taken away the wash service so the trucks have not been washed in 4 months yet we are the face of the company. They say they care about the employees but they can not even carry on a conversation with you

Pros

Pay is decent for those of us who have built a large enough customer base over the years.

Cons

Commission rate cuts the last five consecutive years. No path for advancement. Poor management. Since 2021, every change they have made that I have seen is designed to keep the stock price as high as possible - which has been stagnant for 10+ years. Customers and employees come last.
