Pros

If you like retail than you will enjoy working at Carmax. They are similar to Best Buy, Target, and other big box retailers.

Cons

Hours of operation are long and hard retail hours. Corporate is pushing minorities and women to promotion faster than others. They are a very White and male company in upper management positions which is why they are pushing others through the training very quickly. Amount of stock options/awards has recently been significantly reduced frm what I heard from those still there.

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.
