Pros

Random things sent in the mail (mostly CarGurus advertisement for you to wear)

Cons

Recently a woman left a review here with her experience. Immediately after it was posted, it was buried by a five star review. I would not put CarGurus past writing 5 star reviews for themselves to silence feedback regarding a woman’s experience in the workplace. As the previous reviewer mentioned, CarGurus fees like a “boys club”. Management has favorites. Compensation is underwhelming. Roads to career development lead to dead ends. Constant surveys asking the same questions, but never lead to internal changes. VERY high turnover rate.

Awesome benefits and perks. Great office environment and makes you want to come to the office. Compensation plan is solid with high income opportunity.

This opportunity requires a strong commitment. Standard work hours do not always apply based on the customer base

Pros

Nice office environment with free food and drinks available. The gym and company perks are a nice bonus. There are also some genuinely good people on the team who make the workplace more enjoyable.

Cons

Management can feel overly political, and some managers appear to give more attention and opportunities to favorites rather than treating employees consistently. While the company talks about supporting mental health, the day-to-day culture does not always reflect that message. There is also growing uncertainty about long-term job stability as AI becomes more integrated into the work.
