Pros

The only pro to working for CarMax is that Sales People do not stand outside. Also, there is breakfast on Sunday for a boring war room meeting with people who really do not know how to sell cars at all.

Cons

This place is horrible. You have to purchase company approved uniforms only. From the company store only even down to hats, gloves and coats. The pay is worse than McDonalds. Also, the cars are not as great as they claim them to be. The training is ok but you are being trained by your future competition so they really do not do a very good job in training you at all. The pay is bad real bad very bad do not work here unless you just have to have a job.

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.
