Pros

I loved my team. I met some of the hardest working people of my life in my time at carvana. The first 6 months were so much fun “culture” wise. My direct lead made such an impact on me. The work was easy for me.

Cons

Where to start. Management is so far below the expectations of what management is defined in the dictionary. Every department i worked with was ran like a frat house. From people delivering Red Bull shots to peoples desks blasting edm at 7 am to workplace rumors never being taken seriously by hr. It’s just a messy environment. Very unfortunate because the some pretty amazing people work there, and they are usually punished with being overworked. Which leads to the extreme underpayment of most roles. It seems very specific people get paid well. The pay is not in a fair range across departments and genders. The micromanagement in some departments is wild. The management tends to not listen to ideas unless they like you. It’s weird. The whole clique mentality in the manager levels were so strange. Overall, i wouldn’t work there unless you really needed the job title and experience for something later.

Pros

Most of the benefits are great. Medical, education and other small perks are above average. It was a fun company to work for when things were great and you had the ability to really make a difference.

Cons

Salary is below industry average. Company is constantly low in cash and it's clear based on the decisions that are made at the director level and above. They will not hesitate to get rid of people if they need to save money asap. They will also fabricate any reason to get rid of someone in order to retrieve equity stock instead of laying people off. The company also engages in mileage fraud with titles. The amount of rollbacks that has occurred is more than what should be considered reasonable in the industry, Not a company I would suggest working for.

Pros

There aren't any pros of working for this company.

Cons

They laid off majority of staff within the people operations dept in may of 2022. We were given no heads up, just all access revoked after watching a pre-recorded zoom video. Also, they struggled to hire the entire time because they force people into an office.
