Pros

Great pay. Prospects for new managers that are just starting with the company should take advantage of the growth that is currently taking place. If you can get on the bandwagon of the new and improved "small" store concept, you could be promoted quickly.

Cons

Benefits - (insurance, stock,,,,etc..) have went down considerably the past year.

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.
