LKQ reviews

Selfish, old school branch management. Turnover is not addressed in a timely or complete fashion, forcing an untenable amount of expected multitasking from remaining staff. Everyone just has to suck it up and do more without regular annual performance reviews. No raises without threats and/or tantrums after ridiculous amounts of time being delayed and lied to. Staffing is hodge-podge, untitled, underpaid, demotivated to strive for the nothing they've come to accept, and yet, a core several have no intentions on going anywhere else because they want to see this work, because they are good employees in dire need of the proper amount of help. Delivery fleet vehicles are in various stages of somewhat embarrassing to highly dangerous. Morale is the lowest it has ever been. Management keeps everyone down and somehow expects better results. Nobody is ever fired regardless of how inept they are unless some corporate rule is broken and there's no way around it. I've had some bad jobs but none that were so awfully managed at the ground level.

The management does not care about employees. I was at a warehouse in Tampa, FL and LKQ bought out another company called Insignia. The manager decided to pack all the products from that company's warehouses throughout Florida into that one warehouse. That was hell I left that place. Just weeks later, I was told that the manager asked the employees to take everything that was put on the shelves and throw them away, donate them, or transfer it to another warehouse. I though, why didn't they take count of the inventory that was obsolete before they used up the time, fuel, man power, and funds of the company? It would have made more sense and I'm sure that whole acquisition would have costed the company more less, and maybe they would of had room to give raises to the employees that deserved it. The manager in that warehouse has never worked in a warehouse, he was a sales guy, yet for some reason, they put that idiot in charge.
