A non-commissioned salesperson

Pros

The environment is pretty chill, everyone is pretty relaxed. You don't feel the need to be pushy with customers. Relatively good product that CarMax has.

Cons

You will do the job of at least 5 people and also earn no commission and/or share in the profits you are generating for the store. The whole premise of sales is that you get a cut of the profits you earn for the company. It's one of the few jobs where you can do this. When you remove the commission, what's the point of pushing Carmax's corporate BS? The 10-20% bonus is of YOUR salary, it's not a share of the store profits as with traditional dealerships.

Pros

Friendly team Good people Decent Pay structure No harsh negotiation tactics

Cons

Leadership says one thing and does the other I watched a manager yell at associates in front of customers They hire people to check boxes, not for the people who have the experience and know how
