Pros

Get full benefits after 30 days.

Cons

sales quota of 10 cars led to getting fired. There is NO written agreement for 10 cars a month. When I agreed to work for them, I never saw or signed anything. They railroad you by constant write ups to justify your termination. Way to much turn over. Inconsistent management. Promotions by favoritism.

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.
