Pros

I love cars but you don't have to in order to love working for this company. Carvana provides a fast paced, ever changing environment, so being flexible and having the ability to wear many hats is a must. Rapid expansion will lead to future growth so it's important to always look towards the future. Advocates have autonomy to make decisions and voice opinions when it comes to new ideas. We also work with the developers to enhance the website and improve the customer experience. The idea of putting the customer in control and offering a no pressure online sales experience is unrivaled in the current automotive industry.

Cons

The growing pains of a start up can be challenging at times. it's a good problem to have compared to the alternative of not selling any cars.
