Pros

sitting down all day with out any breaks, expect to eat lunch at your desk, expect no leadership or management expertise

Cons

Worked for LKQ several years as an inside sales coordinator and even with 10+ years of experience the favoritism was always to sales reps who kiss the bosses rear end. Other ways expect to have tier 5 customer base. When I departed the job to go to a smaller company to better myself and my health, I was retaliated with a non-compete agreement that you are force to sign when begin working there. they make you sign a paper with out compensation of any kind, you cannot work for 12 months doing similar job unless its 75 miles out their store location. I could go on and on and on but if you are a car person with lots of experience on the field of auto recyclers DO NOT WORK AT LKQ

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.
