Pros

Its a company that does try its best to be honest and decent. If you complain about having to work too hard at this job, then you are doing something wrong. Although it does take up a good bit of your time, hours are flexible. You sit around all day doing what you choose to do, very few people consistently telling you where to be and what to be doing.

Cons

Pay isn't great. Pay is also based on performance and most people selling used cars dont have degrees so its not that bad by comparison. Hours are long. Sometimes it can wear on you when you realize that you are in fact a used car salesman, and that your co-workers are the typical car salesmen.

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.
