The work environment and other employees were great. Very nice and worked together. Management was terrible there was no room for growth within a job role. GM would continuously bypass company rules and policies for personal gain; Take advantage of employees and facilities needs also for personal gain. GM is extremely selfish and narcissistic and the company and upper management won’t do anything about it because of the “chain and command” amongst other things, but you can just look up the companies management team and piece things together as to why nothing has changed. Many employees have quit for lack of leadership and non-sufficient pay. Hard working employees and staff have left their role specifically for the pay as it is simply not enough for people who are trying to provide for their families. Work load is way more than what the company is willing to pay for, so experienced or qualified people are lost out of company greed. if you think an open job role looks easy i asure you that it’s not even half of what you actually need to do and the company/management does not want to pay overtime for any reason at all as all work necessary must be done within your 8hr shift(40hr work week). This company makes billions of dollars and refuses to show their employees that they care(clearly they don’t) what goes is only what will continue to make the company more profitable and productive the employees doing all the work are swept under the rug.

I am going on my fourth year at NPA. Loving environment that encourages growth. Management worked with me one on one to grow personally and professionally. When I first started our call minimum was 80 and we always exceeded that goal. Conversations with our dealer base are non-scripted so we have the freedom to have an open conversation about what NPA can offer the dealer according to their business needs. Advancement opportunities are offered in house first before posting for applications. NPA is a fast growing company and sometimes the expectations may seem stressful but the team leads and managers are willing to jump in and help us with calls when needed as they pride our department on teamwork. Management is always willing to listen to ideas to resolve issues or dealer concerns. NPA uses integrity and excellent customer service making everyone very easy to work with and our dealer base very happy to hear from us. We get an annual review and does come with a raise. Whenever I felt I needed to be compensated more, management was willing to discuss my performance and helped me to set goals in order to reach my desired pay. NPA is a great place to work!

The company overall was a good work environment if you can get along with other guys with big egos, managers that never really cared and only distributed blame to the employees. At the time I was there then Gen Operations Manager was good just not really much of a supervisor. The CEO and founder only cared on numbers and numerous times I was by myself doing sketchy things while other co workers were on lunch to fulfill the dealers requests. I learned a lot from this job but I will tell you its is not a career, Raises were thin when I was there. Just don't be surprised if newbies getting hired 2 years after you started with no experience make more than you.

I have been with the company for a year and half. My experience has been one of constant learning, teamwork, and of course some growing pains. NPA has expanded their reach and auctions from just a handful to almost double. Which means a bigger workload and shorter time frame, but not unreachable. In the marketing department I have been able to build working relationships with our dealers and help grow their businesses. I love creating the since of excitement for them and assist in anything they need.   
I have never felt out of touch with management or our executives. Their open door policy, genuine concern, expertise and advice is what a company should always have available to their employees. 
I have been able to increase my pay and responsibilities through hard work and passion for the powersports industry. I can also say with great confidence that as a parent to young children they have always worked with me if ever a need arises. Overall this is a great company to work for, you just have to rise the challenge and always be willing to learn on a daily basis.

You will be expected to learn a lot about every type of powersport vehicle. This includes variances from year to year, different model lines, trim level variations, and aftermarket vs. stock components.

Within an 8 hour day, you may end up inspecting 15 or more vehicles. This includes: test ride, a whole bunch of photographs, and damage inspection. If you miss significant damage or incorrectly document anything about the vehicle, the unit will be purchased back from the consignee and you will have some trouble.

You will also be expected to help with detailing, receiving, releasing, using a forklift to move vehicles about, and whatever else needs to be done.

Management is continually changing guidelines for inspections so you will be expected to keep up with a voluminous amount of detail.

The pay is not in line with the company's expectations.

Disgustingly low pay for the workload they demand out of you. Got even worse when Copart took over. Typical day involves doing the workload of 5 people, but getting paid for 1. Good old boys club culture, good luck moving up if you're not accepted in. Little to no raises, if you get a raise it's less than $1. We used to actually get little bonus crumbs here and there. That's long gone. 
Management that thinks they're better than everyone else, and they have no problem gaslighting you, making passive aggressive comments to you about how they can fill your position in 30 minutes. Of course it's just intimidation since they can't follow through. If you don't like it here you know where the door is kind of stuff. Meanwhile, the staff is a revolving door of people coming and going because of the poor treatment and undervaluing of skills. NPA is the place people leave to be more successful, avoid this company at all costs.

Expectations:  Knowing all motorcycle and ATV models from the 80's to current, what parts were included with the model etc.  Standing on concrete floor all day. 

Normal day:  Use of iPad to take pictures and accurately describe condition of 8-20 motorcycles.  Sometimes you'll get a fun motorcycle to look at and ride.  Monotonous/repetitive work.

Management:  Seems to be out to protect themselves, enjoys creating/stirring up drama between departments.  Shifting goalposts and not following through on promises.

Workplace culture:  General warehouse setting, lots of know-it-all guys, foul language and everything else that goes on in an unchecked warehouse.

Hardest part of the job:  Keeping up with managements standards and requests. Too many people in middle management seem to think they're the executives.

Interview/hire process was super easy and have loved the job ever since! Easy job, full time hours, weekends off, paid holidays off, full benefits, and 401K. The benefits are pretty pricy though. Super fun working environment in telemarketing, they play music all day in the department. The manager does monthly employee appreciation outings with the team and NPA host parties the entire location is invited to. NPA always promotes within before extending outside the company. A lot of stories here of starting from entry level and moving their way to management. Manager in telemarketing is very understanding of vacation and time off. Training is offered monthly and seminars are provided for personal growth in business. 

Very relaxed environment, with fun aspects. Working in wash bay you'll be expected to do everything in the building when you are done with your actual job of detailing & washing vehicles. Those things consist of mopping & sweeping whole showroom and bathrooms, taking all trash out (even in the offices) and, helping (shipping, inventory, battery, and more). Wash bay are the only people who have zero down time (even had me & co-worker shoveling sand from parking lot in 100 degree weather just so we were busy), there have been countless times where other department employees are just siting around, and management doesn't bat an eye. You'll feel very underappreciated by management, and a lot of others as well. Pay is very subpar also.        

So my typical day at work is great. I come in to being greeted and asked how I am doing. We make our calls talking to dealers all around the U.S we are able to have fun conversations and see if they are coming to our upcoming auctions. What I have learned is that this company has a lot of room to grow, you just have to push yourself and anything is possible. Management is amazing they definitely are all on the same page and want what's best for the company. They are very understanding to life outside work as well,  to be honest there really is not a hard part in this company. You just need to be open to learning new a faster ways of doing things here and if you need help everyone is there to help you understand things the best part is that. I am all ways happy to come to work and to be around my leaders that encourage me to become the best in my position every day!
