Pros
The company has a nice on-site athletic facility and a good cafeteria. The work environment is casual. On a technical level, some of the teams (in particular CarMax.com) utilize some more advanced technologies.
Cons
There are many problems with the IT organization. The key ones include 1) an inability to work from home; 2) very poor advancement opportunities; 3) manager arrogance. There are numerous managers who actually will ignore associates when they pass them in the hall. Likewise, associate creativity is generally frowned upon. If you like this sort of treatment, plus a lot of evening and weekend on call work, this is the place for you.
