Pros

The role consists of managing a variety of daily business and logistics tasks alongside managing a sales team and post-sale vehicle service.

Cons

You’re all over the place constantly. There’s no end to the number of business issues that require immediate attention, tasks that need to be completed and sales quotas that need to be attained. Combined with IT issues due to aging systems, it is a very sink or swim environment.

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.
