Pros

You have the opportunity to make a lot of money in the sales position you just have to work hard.

Cons

Hours can be pretty long an your schedule is random unless you can reach a higher sales keel which allows you to create your own schedule. Pay per car could be higher. They finally raised it $10 after over ten years of no raise.

Pros

Part time work allows supplemental income

Cons

HAVE to work weekends. THEY think their training program rocks. It's pretty lame, but I guess they think they are trying.

Pros

-The business office management team at this location is very good. They have found a good balance of working towards professional goals and maintaining a fun atmosphere at work. -I would consider myself friends with everyone in the office although I rarely spend time with co-workers outside of the work enviroment. -I never "dread" work. I always seem to enjoy going to work. The only thing that ever makes a work day unpleasant is high volume of customers accompanied with low staff levels. -This is a fairly low pressure job

Cons

-There will ALWAYS be drama. Especially when there are a lot of females. Usually I can always find someone talking about someone else. -Turnover due to low pay and a lot of students coming and going in this job (this location is very close to two Universities) -inadequate management. Carmax as a whole is expanding rapidly 2011 and beyond and already management is being stretched; it remains to be seen if they can hire, promote, and train the management force needed to nearly double their number of stores over the next five years.
