Pros

CARVANA is full of positive people who work hard but have some fun doing it. We all want to be here and bring our A game to work. Being around such dynamic people challenges me to be my best. We are making a change in an industry that has not been changed in decades. It is exciting to be part of a company known as a "disruptor". Our leadership team is sharp and dedicated to not only the success of the company but also to keeping the quality and awesomeness of our culture.

Cons

We are a start up - it gets a little chaotic sometimes- but if you are flexible (things change daily), are ok with putting yourself out there and making mistakes (we are creating processes, policies and procedures and learning as we go!) and have confidence in yourself and your work, you will thrive here.

Pros

* Corporate roles offer flexibility, and no one micromanages how you structure your 8-hour day. * Good holiday schedule and work-life balance if you’re in the right role.

Cons

No clear vision or long-term strategy for the Safe & Secure department. * Constant reorganizations and changing priorities. * Positions eliminated, reinstated, and eliminated again. * No stability or clear career path. * Lack of structure and accountability. * “Blind leading the blind” culture. * Chronic understaffing. * Employees expected to do the work of two or three people. * No additional compensation for increased workload. * Leadership’s answer to resource constraints is to “be scrappy.” * High levels of burnout. * Extremely low morale. * Significant loss of talent and leadership. * Employees quitting without another job lined up due to poor working conditions. * Operations Center dismantled, relocated, and then effectively rebuilt again with no clear strategic reason. * Experienced employees terminated, only to recreate similar functions later. * Loss of institutional knowledge. * Frequent reactive decisions instead of proactive planning. * Constant uncertainty creates stress and uneasiness. * Lack of confidence in leadership direction. * Heavy workload with limited support. * Minimal investment in retaining top performers. * Environment not conducive to building a long-term career.
