Pros

Benefits- Paid time off, 401k matching, health/dental/vision. Continual education/training Advancement opportunities

Cons

Schedule, work life balance. If you get stuck with an incompetent manager (there are plenty) it has a big, negative impact on your entire experience. Compensation is 100% commission. There will be stretches where you struggle to even make minimum wage. If this happens, CarMax will "pay" you minimum wage for the pay period but you will be required to pay that balance back. Look into how "Subsidy" works at CarMax.

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.
