Pros

pay is pretty good, good products (overall). wouldn't trust buying a used car from another company. this is not to say that carmax is perfect as it relates to vehicle quality (who is?) but if i had to take a chance with buying a vehicle from any company, it would be carmax. overall, carmax is a good company.

Cons

career growth is limited because of the size of the company. lack of high-level management engagement in career pathing. it doesn't exist in the operations side of the business. i spent some time at headquarters and was able to mention my concerns and told that the company was fully aware of the need to have a functional development/training program for operations manager trainees and that the company would have one in place by the end of that year (2008). needless to say, they're still working on it.

Pros

The great relationships that you form with the associates. Good reason to go to work everyday. They have some great training programs and if your on the track to move up in the company than you get some great opportunities. They buy the store lunches for meeting sales goals.

Cons

Managerial cowardice. Managers are to afraid to confront anyone regarding any situation themselves so they will have the senior managers confront them on an issue they know nothing about. Alot of the job functions are way to tedious. Not a great amount of pay for the amount of work that you have to do.
