Pros

Competitive salary, good bonus structure, amazing culture, progressive company values - This company truly cares about its employees, and I’m generally a skeptic about how any business/corporation views it’s employees. I was here before/during the pandemic and the company had to furlough large portions of the staff - but still ensured everyone had fully paid medical coverage during their furlough. Once the business recovered, they quickly brought back as many employees as they could. I wasn’t furloughed - but the way they handled this tough situation just shows to me it’s not just lip service when they say the most important assets they have are their employees. Once you’re hired, they are committed to keeping you - even if you want to retrain/change job roles.

Cons

Honestly, I love working here and if the day ever comes, I will have a hard time finding another place to work that I enjoy as much. I have tried to recruit as many friends/family to work here as I can.

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.
