Not a company you should associate your self with. No loyalty!

Pros

Pay is adequate but no increases even when company shows profit each year.

Cons

Hard working employees are not given a fair wage even after the company demands they take on more responsibilties. There is no loyalty to employees they are afraid to speak up in fear of losing their jobs. Never recieved an evaluation even after employee requested one, then when company is not making budget they let them go even after being told they are doing a great job no issues at the day of firing. No communication from the managemnet to the working employees. This has got to be one of the worst management teams I have ever dealt with. The favortism runs rampet in this company.

Good place to start your career

Pros

LKQ can be a good place to start your career. LKQ often will hire those with little experience, so it is a good place for resume building.

Cons

They do not value their employees the way that they should. It is very difficult to get a pay increase unless you change roles. The benefits are also not the best. They only offer 2 weeks PTO...total. There is no sick time or vacation time it is all rolled into the 2 weeks PTO.
