Pros

Nice coworkers, the benefits aren't the best but at least you have them.

Cons

Low pay, low morale, racial undertones in conversations between HR and other "higher ups". Benefits department have no clue as to the laws. Payroll department always has in issue, Accounting department unstable. The folks in Chicago have no Idea how lucky they are not to be a part of the daily crap in Nashville.

Pros

sitting down all day with out any breaks, expect to eat lunch at your desk, expect no leadership or management expertise

Cons

Worked for LKQ several years as an inside sales coordinator and even with 10+ years of experience the favoritism was always to sales reps who kiss the bosses rear end. Other ways expect to have tier 5 customer base. When I departed the job to go to a smaller company to better myself and my health, I was retaliated with a non-compete agreement that you are force to sign when begin working there. they make you sign a paper with out compensation of any kind, you cannot work for 12 months doing similar job unless its 75 miles out their store location. I could go on and on and on but if you are a car person with lots of experience on the field of auto recyclers DO NOT WORK AT LKQ

Pros

pretty simple job, if your co-workers are decent you'll breeze through this job, if not... expect to pick up all the slack with no appreciation!

Cons

work-life balance is horrible if you're on "2nd shift" which is 6pm-3am Sun-Thurs. raises seem to be non-existent
