Pros

Good salary, ability to have direct contact with direct reports to teach and train. Company prides itself on integrity.

Cons

Upper management, especially location senior management, very untrustworthy and secretive. Corporate management has changed and unfortunately accompanying values as well. Unfortunately desire to be a company of integrity has spawned fanatical scrutiny to where many employees are so afraid of making a mistake that they will resultingly lose their jobs.

Pros

There used to be a lot of promotional opportunities, but I don't think that is the case anymore. It's an easy place to work, the work is easy and the expectations are reasonable. It can be a fun place to work.

Cons

There is a lot of BS. There are many things that are done at CarMax that don't make good business sense, but don't tell them that. The upper management (corp) are so busy patting themselves on the back that no one should dare tell them that there are things that need to be improved.
