Our military families sacrifice a lot. They deserve a place to play. That’s why we’ve partnered with KaBOOM! to build 34 playgrounds for thousands of military kids and their families by 2018. http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vQtFf
This year we built a playground in Norfolk, Va, a community with a large military population, for kids to explore, imagine and create. We learned first-hand about the power of play for military families at Sewell Point Elementary School.

I have been working at CarMax full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
CarMax really takes care of its associates. They are all about development and promoting from with-in. Great benefits!!! Everything you could ever want. From medical, dental, vision to anEAP program that includes grants for associates in need of financial help.
Cons
A lot is expected of you. You are expected to do your job and do it well. For some, little supervision is ideal, but some associates need to be watched more so there everyone is doing the same amount of work, as opposed to someone having to pick up the slack.

Application
I applied online. I interviewed at CarMax (Puyallup, WA) in April 2017.
Interview
Applied online which took about an hour, includes a personality quiz. The next day I received a call from the office requesting to set up an interview. Called back and was offered an interview within the next two days. Interview started 15 minutes late due to MOD being busy.
