Pros

Met alot of cool people

Cons

I use to be a branch manager for 2 banks and if this is what CarMax calls a manager that is a joke. If writing and posting huddles and asking about numbers is all you do that is not management at all. You are a copy paste robot telling a pod what the expectations are. They terminated me for doing some 3 day investigation cause i wasn't making outbound calls. I made more outbound calls then not and had valid reasons for not calling cx back. They don't care they monitor your screen and watch your every move. hence the micro managing. Feel bad for these managers and senior managers that only know the CarMax way and never seen the other side of the gates.

Pros

The perks of working at CarMax are quite extensive. Associates are offered an aggressive 401k program, Stock Purchasing Plan, in store discounts on sales and service, access to the CarMax Wholesale system, excellent healthcare, plenty of PTO, and at my location we are given as much OT as we want. My coworkers are generally good people, that I enjoy being able to work along side day in and day out. Management is very understanding in regards to calling out sick family emergencies, and schedule requests.

Cons

Despite doing the work of 5 people, and very politely asking for a raise management will not give me more than my 3% annual raise which is the single biggest let down. The bonus change of 2025 being labeled as "exciting" was straight corporate gaslighting unlike anything I've ever seen. Since the start of 2026, as of this review being written we have lost 7 associates largely due to pay, and I am soon to join those associates. Management from the store level up to corporate needs to understand that to retain their top performers they need to be compensated like a top performer. Some members of management are cliquey and moody which is very frustrating to deal with. Quality of Management varies wildly from store to store as well
