      Pros

      friendly work environment. minimal "direction" from managers, which I like. I feel very independent while conducting my daily activities. Great training and on-going support format.

      Cons

      frequently stay late or skip lunch due to the unpredictability of customers, and the need to make $$. Work 1-2 nights a week until 9PM, and almost every weekend (5 out of 6). Low pay for the amount of effort put into each transaction.

      Pros

      pay is pretty good, good products (overall). wouldn't trust buying a used car from another company. this is not to say that carmax is perfect as it relates to vehicle quality (who is?) but if i had to take a chance with buying a vehicle from any company, it would be carmax. overall, carmax is a good company.

      Cons

      career growth is limited because of the size of the company. lack of high-level management engagement in career pathing. it doesn't exist in the operations side of the business. i spent some time at headquarters and was able to mention my concerns and told that the company was fully aware of the need to have a functional development/training program for operations manager trainees and that the company would have one in place by the end of that year (2008). needless to say, they're still working on it.
