Pros

Friendly working atmosphere, college reimbursement for both part time and full time associates. Flexible scheduling due to its retail format. Excellent full time benefits.

Cons

Although one of its pros, if you're looking for a consistent schedule, because it is retail, you will not find it here. Need to move out of your region in order to progress in any type of management position.

Pros

Remote work, first 2 weeks of the 2 month training, offers sick time before PTO rolls in

Cons

Little to no worklife balance, toxic positivity (like when they called the meeting about taking away our bonuses “exciting news” and tried to gaslight us as to why this was a good thing), extreme micromanagement, listening to our headsets constantly without us knowing, AI rating our metrics, unrealistic expectations, you basically do 4 jobs in one (at Carvana, appraisals / selling, financial applications and documents / EPUs, sales and customer service were ALL DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.
