CarMax – “Not exactly stellar.”

Pros

The benifits and everything else is good. Although they got rid of the pension plan, they did implement a new retirement plan with no cost to associates. This is on top of the 401k plan. People who were vested in old pension plan will still get their money when they retire.

Cons

Like others said, too big too fast. Current economy condition is hurting it. No fairness in work. Trust between associate & management is based on how well you know the other person and how well they are able to convince you of what is needed, not nescessarity of what is right and wrong. Management should be more accountable for thier responsibilities instead of associate. Stop pushing for good numbers and push for good results. Good numbers don't always mean good results, but yet just a good bonus for them.

Advice to Senior Management

There are some people who don't belong and like others said, were brought along for the wrong reasons with little or no experience. Liston more to your associates and give them what they want. Better work options, equipment, fairness, and show them you really care. Prove it to them that the associates are what makes the company great.
