Pros

Due to poor management, they're slack on their policies.

Cons

Due to poor management, the slack on policies means that they'll whip one out just to attack you if they're in a poor mood. If asked to see where the policies are written in order to educate yourself, they won't provide you with any. Policies seem to be made up on the spot. The management, especially the general manager, is awful. You're never given track-able goals, they don't look for your strengths, only your weaknesses. They don't reward you for hard work, but they'll punish you for every fault. Posters everywhere about how a healthy workplace operates and values to work by, but NONE of them are followed by this awful management.

Pros

I work with some really great people, and I really like the idea of putting less in our landfills (LKQ provides aftermarket products, paint and body supplies, AND also recycles and refurbishes OEM products. In addition, the LKQ Board of Directors just approved the roll out of an "enhanced benefits" package to improve wages and benefits, increase paid time off, improve the 401(k) and more.

Cons

Lots of locations (which is a good thing), but some have less experienced management in place.
