CARFAX reviews

Carfax advertises their compensation as “competitive”, which is another way of saying “average” or “not industry leading”. The company keeps emphasizing “overall compensation”. Newsflash: we can’t pay rent or mortgages with free Wednesday lunch or measly Grubhub giftcards. Our last president oozed enthusiasm for Carfax products and services, Carfax was his baby. Not getting the sense our current president shares that same passion. All he ever really cares about is sales and revenue. Instead of talking about products, now all we hear about is revenue and sales. Yawwwwwn. We’ve become indistinguishable from any other corporation. Growing revenue doesn’t inspire people, especially when it’s not reflected in their paychecks. Carfax has no clue that when paychecks don’t go up, workers actually get more annoyed hearing about revenue growth. Even some of the other leaders and managers don’t care anymore. They show up and do the bare minimum (welcome to the club!) Some of them walk around with dollar signs in their eyes, sizing us up on how to keep making sales or cut costs. I don’t even feel like an employee anymore. Remote work gave Carfax a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at scoring enormous goodwill with employees. Instead, they fumbled the ball at the 1 yard line by telling everybody to get back into the office for no good reason. Carfax is so focused on looking great, they’ve forgotten how to BE great.

In all seriousness CARFAX was a great place to work. We once had an amazing team dynamic. There have been many recent changes and while they try to figure out which one of the strong headed ego maniac managers objectives they are going to follow, they are losing sight on their staff. Drink the koolaid. Don’t speak up or ask questions you will be retaliated against. Favoritism is real. HR is not here to protect you. They are only looking out for the themselves.
