Access to aftermarket parts for a great price. Good benefits. Some great co-workers. Newer equipment to use. Newer inventory. Good selection of parts.

People at corporate making decisions that probably have never worked in a salvage yard. Company is ran by numbers not by common sense! Not a lot of room for advancement.
