Pros

variety of cars. stability. busy store(s). co-workers

Cons

micromanagement. texts/calls on days off. crappy vacation. insurance could be better. the amount of work that goes into securing and maintaining one deal is God awful for the pay. No financial benefits for us from finance apps. getting taxed on christmas bonus. Better look busy during downtime b/c god forbid its slow and there is nothing to do. completely #'s driven despite ones best efforts. Personal cell phone use is expected with out any reimbursement/pay for it. Fellow employees snaking deals from you (competitive toxic type environment) not a real team despite the sugar coat management presents. Simply put the pay is not worth the efforts placed. HIGH turnover.

Pros

- Good resume builder because people are familiar with Carmax - Learning about the auto industry is cool

Cons

- Company does not care about sales people - They do for you only if you do for them. Should not be this way for a big corporate company - Alot of free work is done for the company and you aren't paid if your a sales person because everything you do is commission - Not a good company at all. - Work is not efficient and wastes your time and minimizes your opportunity to see as many people as you can
