Pros

Is one of the best car dealerships to work for. The pay is above minimum wage if you do not sell any cars within the pay period. Not much pressure.

Cons

No benefits for part time employees considering it is a top 100 company to work for. Very hard to move up in the company. Management at times can be a mess. Managers play favorites and give their favorite employee easy deals. When filling out surveys from gallup management pressures employees to give all 5's. (not cool) Not a job you want to make a career.

Pros

There used to be a lot of promotional opportunities, but I don't think that is the case anymore. It's an easy place to work, the work is easy and the expectations are reasonable. It can be a fun place to work.

Cons

There is a lot of BS. There are many things that are done at CarMax that don't make good business sense, but don't tell them that. The upper management (corp) are so busy patting themselves on the back that no one should dare tell them that there are things that need to be improved.
