LKQ reviews

Commissions are less than told when hired. Majority of employees have not had a raise in 5 years, Managements answer is "You make more money by working longer hours "(salary plus commission, so no overtime). 12 hour days are norm. Trucks are constantly breaking down, no one in charge of maintenance or record keeping. Employees are treated with very little respect. Most companies I have worked for in past would dismiss managers for the way they treat employees here.

If you're a driver forget about lunch breaks you will not have time to take one I always packed a cooler filled with food and water. Management has no clue on what they're doing sales staff promises their customers the best parts so be prepared to deal with angry customers who will take it out on you when you deliver them a NIQ or C grade part they also tell drivers to check parts before loading what's the point if you make them deliver it anyways? Happened many times. Also returns are always a pain I always had to pick up keystone & LKQ returns I soon realized I was the only one doing this so I stopped picking up keystone returns and only did Lkq (why isn't the keystone driver doing it!) All their box vans need maintenance you fill out a sheet detailing what's wrong with your box van but nothing ever gets done till it catches fire or blows a engine. The paper work you have to do (manifest,invoices,return paper work) wasn't so bad at first but they keep changing the way it got done so it would be easier on accounting. Every Thursday they held a driver meeting in the break room all the meetings are the same! Nothing new ever gets said unless they're changing paperwork procedure and they run long! Let us get back to work in hopes we can make good time to actually stop and eat or be home before 8! ATTN new drivers beware of other drivers putting their invoices in your box leaving you with their work!
