Pros

Senior management is fun to watch.

Cons

Don't apply if you are older than 30 years old. If you do work there, don't stay too long. Other companies don't like the way Carmax does things and are don't want people after they drank the Kool Aid at Carmax. Everything is done in crisis mode. They don't know what a long term plan looks like.
