Pros

All of the managers at CARCHEX were hired from within, lots of room for growth. You get what you work for at CARCHEX. Hard workers make a lot of money, as long as you can follow the process, follow the script. They have the process down to a T, just follow what they tell you, and CHACHING. The manager Robbie and Ronnie are both awesome. They work as a TEAM. If you work hard and follow the process, you will make lots of money here.

Cons

Honestly the only cons are negative employees, but that comes with any sales job or call center. Those not following the script and process are struggling to make it and make money. Keep it simple.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this review based on your experience as a Vehicle Protection Plan Specialist at CARCHEX. We are pleased to hear you are finding success. Thank you for recognizing two of our sales managers Robbie and Ronnie. They work hard to help every Vehicle Protection Specialist achieve success and your recognition means a lot to them. We feel we provide Vehicle Protection Specialists with the training, coaching and tools necessary to reach their career and financial goals. Based on your feedback, it appears that we have been successful thus far but we are always looking for ways to improve. We love the suggestion of adding more monthly recognition for our employees and are in the process of developing a more regular monthly merit-based recognition program. Please be on the lookout for these rewards and hopefully you will be one of our first winners! We are excited that you are on this journey with us and look forward to you being a part of the team for many years to come!

Pros

Free snacks sometimes, some friendly and supportive coworkers.

Cons

It's hard to grow your career here. There's not much room to grow and very limited opportunity to advance your career. If you're only after some regular paycheck, then you'll enjoy working here. However, if you value your career and would want to continuously grow professionally, this is not the place for you.

Thank you for sharing your experience as a Vehicle Protection Plan Specialist at CARCHEX. Feedback from current and former employees helps us to continually improve the employee experience and, ultimately, the service we provide to our customers. We pride ourselves on developing our team and providing growth opportunities as individuals progress in their careers. We foster growth at all levels and in all departments by allowing CARCHEX team members to move to different departments to apply their skill sets to new tasks. For example, many of our Call Screening and Customer Service Representatives have successfully transferred into Vehicle Protection Plan Specialist roles, increasing their earnings by as much as four times. In addition, team members with leadership potential receive the training and development to improve their management skills and are promoted to leadership roles within their department. All of our current sales managers, for example, were formerly Vehicle Protection Plan Specialists. These individuals demonstrated, their ability to not only sell but also to lead and develop others to be successful. Unfortunately, the timing of when someone is ready to advance and the availability of an appropriate opportunity doesn’t always coincide. While our preference is to provide a deserving team member with more responsibility, when that is not possible, we are proud when he/she is able to apply what they learned at CARCHEX to a position in another organization. We appreciate your review and plan to use your feedback to make CARCHEX an even better place to work! Feel free to reach out directly to provide any additional feedback.

Pros

Flexibility with the hours when you need it. Most departments offer many opportunities to make extra money. Very knowledgeable in house training staff who will teach you everything that you need to be successful. Great managers who will go above and beyond for you to provide the help you need. The culture and work environment here are excellent and will make you feel like you are apart of something bigger than yourself. Very comprehensive health and wellness program provided in house. Upper management is down to earth, reasonable and realistic with expectations. Instills valuable skills that will serve you well for the entirety of your career. Includes many useful discounts at many businesses within the Hunt Valley Town Center.

Cons

Depending on the department you are in, the room for growth and opportunity in the company may be limited.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this review based on your experience as a Customer Loyalty Representative! We are glad you had a positive experience as a member of the CARCHEX team. We pride ourselves on developing our team and providing growth opportunities as individuals grow professionally. However, as you have experienced, the timing of when someone is ready to advance and the availability of an appropriate opportunity doesn’t always coincide. While our preference is always to provide a deserving team member with more responsibility, when that is not possible, it is still gratifying when that person is able to apply what they learned at CARCHEX to a position in another organization. We are thankful for the time you spent with us and look forward to following your successes! Kevin Kiddy Talent Acquisition Manager kkiddy@carchex.com 410-527-9280 ext. 1490
