Pros

Some great co-workers. Really, that's the only pro.

Cons

CULTmax. Day 1 you'll be told you're one of the rare 2% of applicants they hire. Lie. I saw 98% of applicants get hired. Training begins and it's basically cult indoctrination. You, chosen one will fight the evils of Auto sales by working for the "good guys" at CultMax. Trues, many people enjoy the no-haggle pricing. But, the company charges thousands more per car than other places. Micromanaging is an understatement. You are under constant review. You will speak only the phrases you are told to speak. Anything more or less gets you written up. Pay? $160 per car is a joke. Do the math. Most employees end up making barely more than minimum wage. The culture and values the extolds are blatant lies.

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.
