Pros

CarMax has the largest sales of used cars in the country. CarMax cares about there people and continues to train you while you are there. You can continue your education and CarMax will help pay for it. The sky is the limit there is no stopping where you can go with the company. They are expanding at a great rate and have all kinds of positions were you can advance to become a better person and continue to grow and advance with a leader in the industry.

Cons

It is a retail store so you do work when other people are off. So weekends and nights are required.

Pros

excellent training, good potential to make more on commission than the average college student who has not yet obtained a degree--great people working with you who care about your success--very honest and straightforward business model which makes it easy to perform well

Cons

very strong, almost cult-like corporate culture--inconvenient hours--expansion plans are having negative effects on individuals' abilities to earn a steady level of commission--unsteady income due to commission based system--issues with quality of product as company grows is passed on to sales consultant in the form of unhappy customers and lost sales--sometimes company feels too big
