Pros

solid corporation that will likely provide longevity in position if you can withstand pay amount...some room for growth

Cons

Too much training ...sometimes repeating over and over. Lots of wasted time which could be used in the floor and not enough pay with no base.

Pros

Great place to work with opportunities for growth and advancement. Highly focused on Associate Development.

Cons

CarMax has gone from a relatively small company to a rather large company quickly. There are some growing pains with the culture shifting from a "mom and pop" kind of place to a large, more formal, corporate atmosphere.

Pros

I got to keep my job through when the economy was not doing great back in 2008.

Cons

They say they promote within, but senior management will only promote you if you kiss their butt or if you are sleeping with them. The associates get away with everything and HR will not fire anyone that needs to be fired.
