Pros

CarGurus is amazing. The people here are very driven and smart. A tech company that is actually cashflow positive and understands its niche.

Cons

Since CarGurus' business model is subscription-based and is in the advertising space, when there are economic downturns, they are the first ones to get hit.

Pros

Good base salary with potential to bring in some serious commission Great benefits, awesome office (before we were sent home due to covid) catered lunches and free snacks were a huge plus

Cons

Constant change in department structure. Have gone through 3 sales directors within the last 12 months. Changing our entire department while raising our quotas. Not a lot of transparency about which direction the company is heading.

We acknowledge that this past year has been challenging due to the unexpected effects of COVID, which unfortunately resulted in us having to make difficult decisions as a company. Our leadership team has been actively working to create an environment where our corporate strategy is clearly understood, and transparency is a top priority. I'm saddened to hear you feel we missed the mark. I encourage you to reach out to your manager to ask any questions that you may have about our corporate strategy. Please feel empowered to hold your managers and senior management team accountable for clarifying goals and expectations. -Andrea Eldridge, Chief People Officer
