Pros

Good co-workers, casual attire, flexibility of schedule, decent compensation.

Cons

Senior managers are a joke, LGM's have no backbone, strong Good Ole Boy network which is the only way to get ahead. Central & Nashville regions are inept & I can't decide on which one is worse. Come to think of it, it is probably the Nashville region because the regionals will visit your store and rarely utter a word to the team.

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.
