Pros

Well Carmax is a good company, who treats their employees very well. My Carmax, spoiled us on weekends with catered lunch. If your a highschool student or college student, its is a great job.

Cons

Job is rather repetitive at times, low pay if you have a family, or want to live on your own. The works are spread out, so its hard to find help when you need it from team members. Management barks orders of things to do, and it presents stress, and also you have a hard time completing a task.

Pros

You make your own money. Control how much you make.

Cons

A little underpaid, hard to really make a great living at a smaller store. The bigger stores are extremely easy to make great money.

Pros

They are extremely understanding of what you want to do for a career and in your personal life. I told them when I started that my career goal was not with them and they were happy to work with me and continue to help me with my goal. The GM even offered that I could work there part time if I wanted when I get to my goal. I will also say that the company knows what they are doing. They lead the industry in used car sales and have built a massive company on being honest and straight forward about everything.

Cons

There are many meetings and training times that you do not get paid for. I suppose in the end it is all in your best interest but there are some that seem pointless.
