Work/Life balance is a big win!

Pros

Great pay. Prospects for new managers that are just starting with the company should take advantage of the growth that is currently taking place. If you can get on the bandwagon of the new and improved "small" store concept, you could be promoted quickly.

Cons

Benefits - (insurance, stock,,,,etc..) have went down considerably the past year.

Don't stay there too long!

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.
