Copart Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Copart full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – I have worked at Copart for over two years and I think this is a great company. They offer substantial benefits, including employee stock purchase and matching 401k, and the salaries are good. I love the sense of family in our yard, and everyone covers each others' back. There are rewards for a job well-done, and they know who the good workers are! The fresh-out-of-college training program is great, and there are GMs of yard who have worked their way up to that position, so if you are a hard worker, you can easily promote without a college degree.

Cons – Sometimes there are long hours, but that's to be expected in just about any job. Of course I wish I made more money (as with most jobs) but I can see a clear path for promotions.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the Town Hall Meetings! It's fun to get together with people from surrounding yards!

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Copart as an intern for more than 3 years

Pros – I loved the environment. I learned a lot about the industry as an intern. People were very friendly and although in every company there are work politics, it wasn't dominant. This company is changing and growing fast.

Cons – Aren't very many opportunities for advancement that I saw, but there very well could be. Unfortunately they relocated to Dallas, Texas.

Former Employee – worked at Copart full-time for more than a year

Pros – Your pay is comparable with area businesses

Cons – When it is hot it is hot

Current Employee – been working at Copart

Pros – After 15 minutes of thinking of something to put here, I gave up. If it prevents your foreclosure, take the job but stay on your job search. You will hate it here, I promise you. Read ALL of the reviews.

Cons – Sharing hotel rooms with strangers on every company trip, bad management, low pay, cronyism, lack of technology, no voicemail, outdated business processes, no checks and balances for management, clueless upper management, no room for advancement, excessive turnover, they delight in terminating people, general managers do no work and rarely even show up to work, lack of communication between branches, no spirit of teamwork, individualistic thinking on all levels, they'd rather refund all day that fix the problem, they delight in working in confusion, they do not value education hence all the problems above, hiring sub-par employees as opposed to paying to get valuable employees, sweeping everything under the rug, general managers and regional managers not held accountable, HR is a joke, lower level employees have no protection against self-serving actions of managers (personal or professional) and therefore employees are subject to abuse of bad AGMs, GMs, and RMs.

Advice to Senior Management – Walk into any branch and question your GM's and watch how much they don't know. Relocate all of your RM's. This places wreaks of favoritism and a relocation may help prevent some of it. Revisit all of your recent promotions and look at how you came to that decision. What you will find is favoritism and cronyism. If you really interviewed them, you'd see that they really know nothing.

Also, create an anonymous hotline for employees to report incidents of mistreatment. Ensure that only upper management checks those voicemails, NOT AGMs, GMs and RMs. You will be amazed at what is going on in these branches.

Former Employee – worked at Copart full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Co-workers are great. They try really hard to make it a family atmosphere.

Cons – Management is the worst I have ever seen. Especially the Managers (all the way up to the VP) In Human Resources. The employees do all the work, then they take all the credit.

Advice to Senior Management – CEO needs to open his eyes before its too late. The management will destroy the company. If you don't take action soon, your stocks won't be worth the paper they are written on.

Current Employee – been working at Copart full-time for less than a year

Pros – some nice people here & there...

Cons – profitable company, run like a mom & pop shop, unprofessional, cheap

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Copart full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Good benefits, descent pay for managers

Cons – Long hours with no respect from management (AGM and higher), regional manager is a drunk

Advice to Senior Management – Stop hiring kids whom have no experience to run the yards. They have a belief that they can treat people like crap and there are no consequences to their own actions. Employees are treated badly by AGM's and GM's. Long time employees no longer have the opportunity to advance since senior management only hires from outside the company now. Experience is completely overlooked and is now discouraged by the executives. I was at a facility that the GM and AGM told us that they did not want certain damages disclosed because it would lower the price of the cars. I am all for making money but not when it is done unethically.

Current Employee – been working at Copart

Pros – Good company to work for if you have a family. Hours are very reasonable and the benefits are pretty good.

Cons – The negatives for this company. On the sales side, the management seemed very unorganized. The changes made at the top seemed to really trickle down and affect the rest of the sales staff due to lack of leadership.

Current Employee – been working at Copart full-time

Cons – Long hours, salary means no overtime pay.

Current Employee – been working at Copart

Pros – There are none. There should be a ZERO-stars option.

Cons – Completely dysfunctional, toxic environment. Arrogant, clueless management. There's a pre-existing condition clause in their medical insurance policy - a multi-billion dollar company and they won't provide decent medical insurance for their employees. Greedy, selfish company that outsources as much as possible to low-wage countries and treats its employees like school children.

Advice to Senior Management – Replace yourselves with an enlightened, educated, group of individuals with a sense of ethics that are loyal to your employees and our country
