Pros

Great Co-workers, Decent Benefits, Got to drive some cool cars.

Cons

At the store I was at, we were given too much to do despite being short staffed. Managers will not support and constantly write you up for the smallest stuff. Towards the end of my time at CarMax, management and the culture felt more like a cult.
