Pros

They are spot on with the training program and are willing to train anyone no matter their prior background. It's a really fun and low pressure sales environment especially when sales are good.

Cons

Need to be willing to work long hard hours (60+) in order to make an average income for a commissioned sales representative. If your interested in a management position its much faster getting hired into the position. Otherwise expect to work on a career development path that could take several years and then waiting for a position to open could take a few more, especially if your not transferable.

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.
