Pros

Its a paycheck and nothing else.

Cons

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.

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.
