The process took 2 days. I interviewed at CarMax (Louisville, KY) in Jun 2012
Interview
I was very excited to interview with CarMax a company on Fortune 100's best companies to work for. I was overqualified for the position I was applying for and had a very smooth and positive interview. Everything went very well and my final interviewer ( 3 total ) told me to definitely be expecting a phone call either that night or the following day. I left feeling very confident that I had the job; then no phone call. I called 3 business days after the interview to follow up and thank them for the interview and let them know I was still very interested in the position. No answer, left a voice mail for the recruiter. This was 3 weeks ago and I haven't heard anything from them either way. I'm very disappointed in them and feel very led on. If you don't want to hire me that is perfectly fine, but at least let me know.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Greensboro, NC) in May 2012
Interview
I was contacted a few days after completing an online application. The phone interview was brief and when I asked for the salary range I was told they do not discuss that until the in-person interview. When I arrived for that interview I was taken to a cubicle in the back office to complete an assessment and provided personal information to have my background check submitted. The assessment was a lot of questions about drug use, personality and workplace behavior. I interviewed with two different people, a Sales Manager and a Back Office Assistant Manager. I was not given the pay rate ($10/hourly) until the end of the interview process, which lasted 2 hours. Then I was told if I wanted to move forward I could take my drug test that same day and get a New Hire Orientation packet, start date, etc. Basically, it was a conditional offer. The staff was really nice and professional. They said I could have some time to think about it, because it would be a pay cut for me. I explained earlier that I was still employed. I called back a few days later to thank them for the opportunity, but declined. I was offered another position in my career field shortly afterwards. However, a few weeks later I received a letter in the mail stating "while your background is impressive, regrettably, we need to let you know we have decided to pursue another candidate." Since I verbally declined I did not see a point in sending that, but overall the experience was average.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CarMax (Mission, KS) in Aug 2011
Interview
During the interview they had me take an online quiz of personality etc. During this quiz it asks about recreational drug use I accidentally choose often even thought I have never done drugs. The rest of the three interviews consisted of me trying to convince them that I have never done drugs. Other than questions about the drugs they didn't ask hardly any other questions. Waste of my time.
