CarMax reviews

It's run by people, and it will be what you make of it :) It's a large org, so my experience is not indicative of the WHOLE, just from my vantage point. There is a lack of clarity in how things work from an organizational standpoint because there are a lot of parts to the whole. this lack of clarity bleeds into career advancement. I do disagree with the direction they currently are moving in from a career advancement perspective, there is a lot of onus put on the individual to prove and strive towards.. that IMO has a propensity towards politics, over people. I understand and appreciate the heart behind how they do what they do, but I think there has been a side-effect that is not as desirable! From a technical standpoint, its a heavy organization with a lot of moving parts that makes change cumbersome. Buying/selling used cars is more complex than you may think - and having been in the game as long as they have - you have a lot to change!

Want to get promoted at CarMax? Easy! Leave, get a better job elsewhere, then come back three levels higher! Don't even bother trying to get a promotion or treated fairly unless you're loud, steal other's work as your own, and treat those you think are beneath you as less than. Lots of lip service for D&I, but not much done, and even the group "championing" it is a lot of generic white people.
