Not a very good place to work.

Pros

Really good co-workers, made friends for life. Stock option purchase plan is good and it is a financially strong company.

Cons

For engineering or TSS related jobs: Upper Management doesn't respect employees and does not reward or recognize them for going beyond expectations. The pay is below Bay Area standards - this company is a money making machine and doesn't pay the employees well. Now that the economy and jobs seem to be picking up, good people are leaving the company.

Great start, horrible finish

Pros

Before they sold the building, it was a great place to work. Ever since Willis left, it's lost it's sole. Willis made it a family and made people feel important. Cancelling the holiday party, replacing it with a lunch showed that it was all about money. Getting a severance check as a reward for staying until my last day was the only positive thing that's happened in the last 3 years.

Cons

They are getting rid of all the talent so the ones left can move to Dallas the cheapest way possible. The president's expression "you're dead to me" if you're one of the people designated as leaving says it all. It's like seeing the walking dead going to work. Leaving was the best thing that could have happened to me.

Pros

Avoiding a long commute, the people

Cons

Sr. Management can't make up their minds about anything, from vacation policy to dress code to project design and implementation. Micro-managing from the top executives has brought a whole new meaning to the word. As a result, they are hiring 50 people one month, and laying off another 50 the next. Since Willis left, Copart has become very unstable and I would not recommend this place to anyone, even if you are only contracting.
