Great Company

Business Outlook

Pros

Well Carmax is a good company, who treats their employees very well. My Carmax, spoiled us on weekends with catered lunch. If your a highschool student or college student, its is a great job.

Cons

Job is rather repetitive at times, low pay if you have a family, or want to live on your own. The works are spread out, so its hard to find help when you need it from team members. Management barks orders of things to do, and it presents stress, and also you have a hard time completing a task.

Pros

Great pay for a college student! Tuition assistance available for part-time employees too! Flexible scheduling while in school. Training and gained knowledge of the automotive and retail industries.

Cons

Four years later and I'm in the same position. Hard work often times goes unnoticed. Prepare to work with other employees who don't.

High Turnover

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is decent, benefits are nice and the people are fun to work with. The hours -- at least the scheduled hours -- are great. Classic 3-4 schedule; however you may end up working 6 to 7 days per week.

Cons

There is a high turnover ratio at the Laurel position. You will be worked long and hard. Lunch break may or may not happen. Sleeping in the guard shack overnight highly recommended.
