Pros

I genuinely enjoy working at CarMax. Outcomes are prioritized and the culture is outstanding. The unlimited PTO (for tech) policy is great and managers, in general, really take care of their people.

Cons

Some senior leadership (non-Tech) really doesn't have a clue. Changes are made to remove developer support positions and we're told that not having those roles will make us more efficient. 1+1=5, apparently. Product leadership is basically non-existent and is pushing away our best PMs.

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.
