Pros

Great culture and personalities of those in my department. Easy to get along with folks in other roles throughout the store. Very involved leadership for career advancement opportunities from day one

Cons

This may not be a con for many others, however, a professional job and very corporate structure behind the importance of this position make retail hours a very difficult part of it

Pros

Remote work, first 2 weeks of the 2 month training, offers sick time before PTO rolls in

Cons

Little to no worklife balance, toxic positivity (like when they called the meeting about taking away our bonuses “exciting news” and tried to gaslight us as to why this was a good thing), extreme micromanagement, listening to our headsets constantly without us knowing, AI rating our metrics, unrealistic expectations, you basically do 4 jobs in one (at Carvana, appraisals / selling, financial applications and documents / EPUs, sales and customer service were ALL DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.
