Pros

Weekends off that's about it.

Cons

Company is not as good as they say. Got hired on Friday and was going to start the next week. Called the manager and he didn't even remember he had hired me. He gave me the run around. I had to talk with human resources. Started work and we had nothing but meetings in the mornings until lunch. Got hired as a mechanic and ended up just doing oil changes all day. That's after having extensive knowledge and experience plus school and certifications. The pay was below average. Everybody is assigned a level status and they brag about it. If you are 3 minutes late from punching in from lunch or any other time you have to punch in, forget it they will give you a strike against you. They say they will move you up but they don't. Overall bad place to work at.

Pros

The only good thing about carmax is the benefits and that's it and the some of the people that you work with

Cons

They over work you, there are just too many tasks that you have to do as a inventory associate to be making penny's and dimes to the millions that this company is making on a regular basis. And as a inventory associate you are disrespected all the time by the other departments. The mangers suck and don't know how to deal with the pressure that happens on a regular basis and end up just leaving the department and making the employees handle the high pressure situations all of the time. Mangers always lie to you and they lie to there higher ups and if your on there bad side they do in any means fired you even when it's not right for the business. It's just not worth it you'll be coming back home each and everyday stressed to your limits and hate working there.
