Pros
Benefits overall are good, but they could be better. There are a lot of great people. A lot of people that have been there over 20 years. As log as you're willing to work hard and not get involved in all the complaining of some people, you'll be noticed. This improves your chances of a promotion.
Cons
- The people running LKQ are nothing but numbers crunching fanatics. They either know nothing about the business from a locations point of view or they once did, either way they are completely out of touch with reality. - Product pricing is ridiculous. They think because the name is LKQ, they can get away with being the highest priced company. The reasoning, this is especially true on the Keystone side, they are the biggest and baddest company, no one has the inventory they have, so small companies can't get the parts to sell and survive. Reality is, they sale to every reseller at extremely low prices, who in turn sell for less than the locations can sell. - The higher you go in a location, especially the GM and OPS Manager, you are expected to work 80 hours a week, doing the 14,000 things a day the powers above want you to do, then want to know what your doing to increase sells and how many customers did you see that week. - Stress levels are thru the roof The list goes on, but I'll stop here
