      Pros

      You can get parts for your vehicle at a discount

      Cons

      Employees are treated very poorly, over work good employees to pick up the slack of the lesser, instead of hiring better employees, shady managers, terrible pay, ridiculously high turnover rate on employees, zero appreciation shown for hard work

      Pros

      Starting pay is underwhelming but they promise a raise within 6 months

      Cons

      Inconsistent training and management direction. You will not get promised raises or promotions. If you are a woman and happen to get pregnant while working here expect to be harassed and degraded on a daily basis. You will not be treated the same as a male employee regardless of training or experience and will be harassed about and written up for every doctors appointment you have to go to.

      LKQ the real story

      Pros

      After leaving LKQ for greener grass, I have returned to the company in a leadership role. I would like to set the record straight about the company. LKQ is a solid, employee driven company. They take good care of the employees contrary to some of the disgruntled comments I have read on this site. Upper leadership is clear and directive. Benefits are on par with other comparably sized companies. If you have drive, commitment, work ethic, and be part of a winning team then LKQ is a great place to be. If you want to work your way up the ladder in your chosen field and pay your dues to EARN this, then LKQ is a great place to be. If you want to complain, do the bare minimum to just get by, wait for someone to tell you to act when you see problems, then perhaps you should consider looking elsewhere along with many of the negative posts on this site.

      Cons

      I work in the Corporate Support Center, and quite honestly I have no CONS. If I had had CONS, then I would have not returned to work for the company. I can not speak for the yards, warehouses, etc. but I can say the company is fair and has an open door policy. So if you are unhappy, then run your valid concerns up the management chain and don't bring your team down by sitting idle and complaining.
