Pros

you can make as much, or as little as you would like in terms of commission.

Cons

~YOU ONLY GET PAID $160-$300 PER SALE (if not split) You can have a schedule, but you'll be at most customers' mercy. By this I mean you'll sacrifice plenty of time off to come in and (HOPEFULLY) sell a car. Also, you'll have to make sure nobody else in the store does ANYTHING with your customer (test drive, pull up order, ANYTHING) or you may lose half of your commission, or even all of it.

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.
