Pros

As long as the company keeps growing, there's always something new to learn. Compensation for accountants in Nashville is competitive, even though the benefits are just adequate..

Cons

More and more, how far you get in the company depends on how popular you are with management.. From personal experience, I would advise against relocating with LKQ should the opportunity arise. Promises of advancement/promotions were made to me before I moved across the country, but I actually got demoted.

Pros

Pay is decent for those of us who have built a large enough customer base over the years.

Cons

Commission rate cuts the last five consecutive years. No path for advancement. Poor management. Since 2021, every change they have made that I have seen is designed to keep the stock price as high as possible - which has been stagnant for 10+ years. Customers and employees come last.
