Don't Be a Richard - Recruiting Coordinator CARVANA Employee Review

One of Carvana's core values is: Don't be a Richard. What does this mean to its employees? This means that it is important that "Carvana conducts their business with a firm commitment to ethics and compliance and treating every customer, employee and stakeholder with the upmost respect. As Carvana continues to build a great company, it’s equally important that they are always acting as a good company." Needless to say, my experience was less than that. Throughout my day to day at Carvana I was never quite sure if I was performing my duties well and on top of that (positive or constructive) feedback directed to my role competencies were far and few between. However, when it came to how I interacted with those in the office they were always quick to jump on their feet to shame and deliver feedback. For the last 6 months of my experience I was victim of shameful feedback that I felt was not appropriate or necessary to improve my day to day tasks. This lead me to not feel like I could be myself or even safe in the office. When I was at my wits end I was advised to reached out to Human Resources to assist me with advice on to conquer this problem, and I requested to be kept anonymous. I requested to be kept anonymous because at this time I was already feeling singled out. I was feeling like I could not be myself in the workplace because of the very personal feedback I was being given by my leadership team. Unfortunately, I was not kept anonymous. This escalated my experience and I quickly realized that reaching out to a team that is put in place to protect their employees and not being protected something that I hope someone never has the opportunity to experience. At that point forward I lost all trust in Carvana's HR team and my leadership team on supporting and protecting me as an employee. ( I mean, why should I?)
