Pros

overall, the company is progressive and constantly looking for improvement. The environment is good and the associates are mostly competent.

Cons

I don't agree with the leadership structure. Some promotions are granted to "favorites" yet they are not universally viewed with respect or "the most qualified".

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.
