Pros

Decent pay, great benefits and free health care

Cons

Stopped caring about customer experience and employee experience and started only caring about managing hours. Schedule changes are now happening daily so there is no continuity to schedule. We wanted to come here for careers but now it feels like we're high school kids working at the Gap and they can just move our schedules around however they please without any regard for our personal time or lives away from work. The focus has completely changed to managing hours rather than making sure our customers have a great experience. It seemed like there was a difference between just getting the job done and getting the job done the right way when I started here. Now it's all about just getting it done and making sacrifices anywhere along the way to make sure it gets done in as short amount of time as possible without having breaks or lunch. The Carvana culture feels like it is on life support here and we have brought in so many employees from another local company it feels like we're taking on their culture, which I don't think is a good thing because no one likes working there. Almost all of the managers in our area have also come from outside the company. Located in California.

Pros

Starts at $18 an hour and they hire any with work experience or a degree

Cons

There is no ownership when it comes to mistakes. If a customer asks for a manager you are told to pass it on to another employee and have them say they are a manager. They have seniors that are there to assist with escalations but they will always say they are busy. Also this company has call overflow. Meaning that if you are trained on the underwriting team you can receive calls for a customer that has not received their vehicle registration or their vehicle showed up with a broken windshield. Lastly they required mandatory overtime from february until end of tax season...

Pros

The best part of working at Carvana was the people I worked with. No matter what department you work in, you will find people that are positive, care about the team and customer base, and find ways to enjoy the day-to-day even in times of stress.

Cons

Individuals (on our team at least) were not invested in as employees. Management, though well meaning, isn't competent enough to get the most out of their teams. I got the sense that there was a lot of pressure on managers to hit short-term sales numbers, so performance evaluation is the ultimate "what have you done for me lately."
