Pros

If you are in the beginning phases of your career, LKQ can offer opportunities to learn and interface with new technologies that you may not have been exposed to in the past.

Cons

LKQ has grown very quickly as a company, but has not shown an interest in investing in IT in order to meet the new demands this growth has created. Leadership consist of "lifers" who have very little to no experience in enterprise IT, and as such are unsure how to use IT assets to their benefit.

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.
