Pros

Great benefits , really easy to become successful, honestly the review says average 30k , my first full year I made 55k and I’m currently in one of the tougher markets.

Cons

Really up and down , UPS list can be pretty deep at times , company changes way to often and some changes are unnecessary .

Pros

The great opportunity to work within the automotive industry. Not only do you build relationships with those within your own dealership but you also network with other dealerships and vendors that provides support to the CarMax staff and customers.

Cons

A company growing at a fast pace and is open to cross training and promoting from within creating many opportunities at either the dealership you work at or the possibility of transferring to others

Pros

CarMax is an amazing place to work. It is unlike any other corporate environment that I've ever worked in. 1. Your supervisor cares deeply about you as a person. I have never had a supervisor care this much about my professional development. I have weekly check ins, I always know where I stand and she ALWAYS has my back. I've been in conversations talking about making sure we think about how to prevent burnout for certain associates and how to make things better for people. 2. It is very flexible. I have worked at home since I began working with CarMax, however, I've been able to work with my supervisor to make sure I can meet the bus every day. There is also a lot of respect for time away from the office - if you are out, people do not try to contact you or ask you to deal with things. 3. They really do work hard to live up to their values. When I interviewed, I thought that everyone was putting the company in the best light. Everything they talked about is true. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop - but seriously, it is as good as advertised. 4. I have all of the tools and resources I need to do my job.

Cons

The interview process is intense! It really is designed to make sure the right people are hired, but it is stressful for the candidate.
