Pros

Working from Home and sick time

Cons

You will be monitored on every call. They listen, watch your screen while you work. While you are on the line, manager will chime in and tell you what to say and when. You have to meet all metrics for sales. No customers are YOUR customers. Fellow employees steal your customer and you lose your points. Store employees do not like the CEC and you are in competition with all peers. Customers are confused as they think they are calling the store and are not happy when they realize you are remote and won't be meeting them at the store to complete the sale. Working on a Sunday... don't do it. It is by far the worst day for sales and progressing the customer which makes it hard to recover from each week to meet your metrics. Pay is extremely low for all of the responsibilities that are expected from you. A lot of your calls are for the service department, complaints for customer relations and not a sales call and that call is considered a "moment" and counted against your sales metrics.

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.
