CARVANA reviews

No work life balance, like at all. They made us work over 50 hours a week sometimes and it was no notice or option. Management pretends like they care about your future but they really don't. There is no opportunity for growth. They want you to perform like 5 different jobs but pay you for one. You don't have a lunch break 80% of the time. They hire from the outside and don't respect their current employees. No diversity in upper management at all. They take you ideas and adapt them as their own without giving you credit for it. You have to beg for you PTO and request it 30 days in advance and it will probably get denied. They change their policies everyday and expect you to keep up, they are so worries about money they will have you doing illegal things just to get a car out. The cars suck and they aren't transparent about them. I didn't learn any transferable skills, I wasted two years working for a company that would even give me a raise. Horrible company and worst job I've ever had.

One of Carvana's core values is: Don't be a Richard. What does this mean to its employees? This means that it is important that "Carvana conducts their business with a firm commitment to ethics and compliance and treating every customer, employee and stakeholder with the upmost respect. As Carvana continues to build a great company, it’s equally important that they are always acting as a good company." Needless to say, my experience was less than that. Throughout my day to day at Carvana I was never quite sure if I was performing my duties well and on top of that (positive or constructive) feedback directed to my role competencies were far and few between. However, when it came to how I interacted with those in the office they were always quick to jump on their feet to shame and deliver feedback. For the last 6 months of my experience I was victim of shameful feedback that I felt was not appropriate or necessary to improve my day to day tasks. This lead me to not feel like I could be myself or even safe in the office. When I was at my wits end I was advised to reached out to Human Resources to assist me with advice on to conquer this problem, and I requested to be kept anonymous. I requested to be kept anonymous because at this time I was already feeling singled out. I was feeling like I could not be myself in the workplace because of the very personal feedback I was being given by my leadership team. Unfortunately, I was not kept anonymous. This escalated my experience and I quickly realized that reaching out to a team that is put in place to protect their employees and not being protected something that I hope someone never has the opportunity to experience. At that point forward I lost all trust in Carvana's HR team and my leadership team on supporting and protecting me as an employee. ( I mean, why should I?)
