What does the leadership team need to get better at?
They treat emplyees like cattle, non human. They have a high turn over rate.
Review from Operations Dept
Understanding, people, spellings, and the way they talk to like their children with no respect thinking that they're better than us
Review from Product Dept
Focus on quality and logistics
Communication. Leading. Enforcing policy .
Who is my executive team? I don't know how to rate them because I'm not sure who you're speaking about. There needs to be a lot more empathy, understanding and compassion most of the sales people and customer service representatives all have mental health issues due to work stress
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I don’t receive any benefits. I'm going to report my local LKQ to the State Bureau for employer
Review from Operations Dept
I have worked very hard at this company. I stayed and asked you. I stayed when I didn't need to. I was doing three jobs at once the job I have now deal with tons and tons of small pieces. I'm all alone. I keep stacking more and more new things on me with no help the way they talk to me like nothing
Review from Product Dept
Fair wages and set hours
We take on so many calls. We are on so much pressure we had our hours cut and we are making less money when the cost of living has went up. Our company says they care but they will not compensate us so we can live comfortably but they're always asking us what they can do better our answer is pay
Work at a different location
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Actually working as a team. Following there code of ethics would be key.
We don't need to work with others. Not in the position I held
Work together as a team
By firing all of your long-term employees and starting over
they are habitual in their desire to do the least possible work
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
A change in management retrain and cross training
Management needs go threw training on how to properly speak/ listen to employees
I really don't know the survey seems pointless
Management and CEO and corporate
Work life balance work decent amount of hours that your able to spend quality time with family
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Tell potential employees its a 40 hour workweek when indeed its 9-10 including Saturdays. Tell of global human resource benefits. This is a puppy mill churning out quotas so management looks good. High emoyee turn over.
Review from Operations Dept
Actual training and proper teachings
I honestly don't know hire people with experience
No follow up. It's all done online and no one follows up
Review from Sales Dept
Be honest about job expectations and product quality
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Your ratings are displayed and grated -D on the website. LKQ is top heavy on bosses, middle management and their local bosses. Focus needs to be on human resource benefits for employees. Management not following Human Resource policies.
Review from Operations Dept
No investment in the company. Just looting from C Suite
All of our prices gone up and all of our quality has gone down. Whoever is working in the locations are not doing their quality control jobs and we're sending junk out to people and we're not being able to keep repeat customers because Of the demanding queue and how important it must be
Management ignore good ideas turn you down
The nepotism and the employees that have been there for longer than 3 years have gotten so comfortable that they take advantage of this company at every turn and the district manager is turning a blind eye to it. You don't send the district manager to his own store to do an investigation
