- The best work-life balance company I've ever worked for - Emphasis of a great work culture brought from the top down - Embraces innovation and ability to work with new tech - Excellent co-workers and team dynamics

Cons

- Base pay is decent, and they typically do make the annual bonuses however the stock incentives are lacking when compared to other tech companies. - Medical plans are higher priced, (without more coverage) than what I was used to

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.
