Pros

flex time in some departments great benefits positive company culture opportunities for advancement ongoing training opportunities company supportive of work/life balance competitive pay opportunities for bonuses matching gifts program regular associate appreciation events

Cons

some difficulty advancing if you aren't personally well-connected to upper management/advancement does not always seem to be based on merit micro-managing of associates can be common (dependent on your department) employees in good standing are told that they can come back if they leave but actually cannot do so; long time service does not seem to be valued as highly as it once was

Pros

Remote work, first 2 weeks of the 2 month training, offers sick time before PTO rolls in

Cons

Little to no worklife balance, toxic positivity (like when they called the meeting about taking away our bonuses “exciting news” and tried to gaslight us as to why this was a good thing), extreme micromanagement, listening to our headsets constantly without us knowing, AI rating our metrics, unrealistic expectations, you basically do 4 jobs in one (at Carvana, appraisals / selling, financial applications and documents / EPUs, sales and customer service were ALL DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.
