Pros

The position has flexible hours, decent pay (I average about $17 per hour), surrounds you with fun people to work with (the interview process ensures this is the case), and offers a situation where every day is different from another. The company takes care of its employees, but this is a sales job - so stress is part of the deal. I really get the feeling every day that my management team cares about me and my progression in this business.

Cons

Constant training processes, growth meetings, and inventory tasks take you away from the only thing that makes you money - selling cars and extended service plans. That is my only real complaint. If my job is to sell cars, let me do that. Also - promotions can come from within, but you have to be willing to move or wait sometimes a decade for a promotion in your store.

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.
