Pros

It's a corporate job. If you get the job and look productive, no one will wonder if you're pulling your weight.

Cons

The Senior Leadership will throw you to the wolves and lie about it. We get accurate updates on how the business is doing from Quarterly earnings because all other updates are "we have a solid business model". They choose to lay off people to replace them with overseas contractor. That is not "putting people first" or "doing the right things" Promotions are based on who you know, not what you contribute.

Pros

Remote work, first 2 weeks of the 2 month training, offers sick time before PTO rolls in

Cons

Little to no worklife balance, toxic positivity (like when they called the meeting about taking away our bonuses “exciting news” and tried to gaslight us as to why this was a good thing), extreme micromanagement, listening to our headsets constantly without us knowing, AI rating our metrics, unrealistic expectations, you basically do 4 jobs in one (at Carvana, appraisals / selling, financial applications and documents / EPUs, sales and customer service were ALL DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.
