Pros

We have had some awesome bosses come threw our location. Our past general manager and ops manager made sure you were able to learn about the future of LKQ. Danny Cambell, Derek Green and Kevin Daniel were amazing!! They were always will to teach anything if you were willing to learn!

Cons

We changed regions and now have a male chauvinistic boss. We understand that we changed but the boss now hate gays and women. He thinks that we are not in the Business that a women should be in.He also gets pissed that the past bosses taught me 98% of everything I needed to know to run a location by myself. The last thing I have to learn is budget.

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.
