Pros

Business Casual Attire. Wearing jeans was great. Seeing coworkers wear the equivalent of pajamas to work every day was even better.

Cons

Offices and Stores in Atlanta have been in need of renovations for a while, but it hasn't been a priority. Some of the locations are pretty disgusting environments for Employees to work in. Compensation offered is very low to Employees, especially to Store Associates and Supervisors. If this doesn't prevent you from joining the company, then prepare to work on Windows 95 and on a computer that is a little old.

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.
