Pros

Paid time away for manager is not a set number of days, but rather as much as you'd like as long as the needs of the business are met. This can get tricky if you end up in a understaffed store, otherwise it's pretty nice. Award winning training programs give you all you need to be successful, and precise way to give and receive performance feedback. Excellent benefits, stock options, tuition assistance, stock bonuses, expanding nationwide with ability to move locations.

Cons

As the company grows some of the employment perks are disappearing- managers are expected to work 50 hours/week minimum. Senior managers have the same expectations but no one holds them accountable so they rarely do. Promotions seem easy but there are many hoops to jump through and is more based on the "good ol' boys game".

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.
