Pros

Is one of the best car dealerships to work for. The pay is above minimum wage if you do not sell any cars within the pay period. Not much pressure.

Cons

No benefits for part time employees considering it is a top 100 company to work for. Very hard to move up in the company. Management at times can be a mess. Managers play favorites and give their favorite employee easy deals. When filling out surveys from gallup management pressures employees to give all 5's. (not cool) Not a job you want to make a career.

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.
