Pros

Most of the people you work with are good individuals. You can earn some great income with hard work.

Cons

The amount of favoritism in the company was significant to any other company I have worked for. The way to advance in the company is to win over as many people as you can your performance has little to do with it. Work and life balance is horrible in the sales role you end up putting in at least an additional 10-15 hours a week to do well. Incapable sales managers who know very little and end up losing commissions for you.

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.
