Pros

Benefits are still pretty solid

Cons

Lots of deceit coming from the executive team. We have record breaking profits, but we can’t afford housekeeping services? The AC goes out, and we suffer for days in the Arizona heat? They’ve proven remote work to be more productive and they’re saving plenty of money with those remote workers, but they are mandating everyone return to office because they don’t care if we’re more productive, it’s all about that hustle culture! All of the well-paid executives are aware of the economic state of the world, but they need to offload us so they can replace us with inexpensive contractors to line their pockets with bonuses to save themselves while we worry how we’re going to secure affordable childcare. Direct leadership does genuinely care about their employees, but any further than that, they’ve all become incredibly cold hearted. Seemingly propelled only by greed and fear. I can see why Carmax has been a very steady, long term success in comparison.
