Copart’s Former VP of HR Alleges Company Operates As ‘A Mad Men-Era Boys’ Club’

A Dallas-based Fortune 500 company has been sued by its former global vice president of human resources, who alleges she was fired after complaining about discrimination and harassment toward female employees.

“Copart is a $35 billion publicly traded company operating more like a Mad Men-era boys’ club where male executives caught with prostitutes at company events are rewarded with multimillion-dollar stock options while women who raise concerns about sexual harassment and gender discrimination are silenced, retaliated against and fired,” the lawsuit against online car auction company Copart Inc. alleges.
