Pros

Carmax definitely has a friendly environment to work under.

Cons

Its a car company that makes it hard for employees to purchase cara other than wholesale pieces. Constantly micro managed with very little room for improvement. Management doea everything for the customers and nothing for employees. Management looks down on time off even when there are plenty of people working. Other departments look down on sales especially purchasing. Corporate is a joke and their representatives are useless. Constant indoctrination amd training is miserable. Always roll playing and critiqued on everything.

Don't stay there too long!

Pros

Senior management is fun to watch.

Cons

Don't apply if you are older than 30 years old. If you do work there, don't stay too long. Other companies don't like the way Carmax does things and are don't want people after they drank the Kool Aid at Carmax. Everything is done in crisis mode. They don't know what a long term plan looks like.
