Time off when needed. Inventory is an easy job. People who work there are nice. Hours are not that bad.

Carmax is an o.k place to work. LGM has to much authority in hiring middle management. Picks friends over more competenet managers.

Pros

good culture, very easy to work as an hourly associate or in sales. Bend over backwards for special circumstances and hourly associates.

Cons

Tout perks for managers but actualy manage these managers well within the policy. Opendoor policy is a joke if you want to advnce with the company. Don't seem to care about keeping their best and brightest managers after they invest tons of money in tryin to recruit the best.

Pros

At some points it was a fun place to work.

Cons

In the business office, you do not get paid equal to what you do. You take all the money, process all the titles, do all the transfers with help from inventory, and taking care of all the signing and tendering of deals, and making sure the checks are funded, so Carmax gets paid. All that starting at 10 an hour. They also do not believe in giving full time, so they do not have to give benefits. Most of the positions are part time. the hours are not fixed, so if you work till close which is 10, its not always, its till the last deal is done. The business office is that last to leave. Work from other departments is constantly shifted to the business office. Basically, you do not get any respect, cause you do not make the money. Sales and Service does. If you want to get a job there avoid the business office.
