CarMax reviews

mandatory overtime happens yes its illegal but part of the contract you sign makes it ok for them to schedule you for the company's needs. management is clueless or waits till last minute for critical tasks that need to get done. compensation is terrible i cant afford the 420 a month insurance for my family which is why im still job hunting. promotions are supposedly based off of a "training matrix" but i have worked for carmax for 3 months now and i still am not on the list. 6 years in the military training leading soldiers into some of the nastiest situations and out alive didnt mean i was worth more than 10 an hour or a management. working out in the elements regardless of the temperature in nothing but your carmax uniform and jackets SUCKS.

Traveling. Most auctions are local but you can be put on a traveling team requiring over night travel. However, airline miles and hotel points are yours to keep. Politics, some people are content as a buyer and are great. Others want to be senior buyers and purchasing managers, these are the ones you need to watch out for, they will run you over, then back up back over you. Micro managing. It's an easy job once your a buyer, but while you are a buyer in training every move you make and every decision you make will be scrutinized. Don't get on the bad side of the senior buyers and purchasing managers or you will be promoted to customer.
