Pros

- Pay is decent, depends on experience. - Work from home - Will pay for Pluralsight account if you ask - Associates that call for help are generally understanding.

Cons

- Benefits are somewhat expensive - Unnecessary amount of repetitive calls with no sight for fixes or improvement. - Frequent schedule changes and weekend shifts - Extreme call center like metrics and performance expected. - Frequent system outages - Mandatory overtime when department is understaffed - Not enough access to assist associates with most systems, the point of this role is mostly take the call, get the info, and most likely send it to another team that can actually fix it on the back end. - Frequent call dodging co-workers, abusing statuses to be off the phones. - Used car market is declining, business seems to be suffering.

Pros

The perks of working at CarMax are quite extensive. Associates are offered an aggressive 401k program, Stock Purchasing Plan, in store discounts on sales and service, access to the CarMax Wholesale system, excellent healthcare, plenty of PTO, and at my location we are given as much OT as we want. My coworkers are generally good people, that I enjoy being able to work along side day in and day out. Management is very understanding in regards to calling out sick family emergencies, and schedule requests.

Cons

Despite doing the work of 5 people, and very politely asking for a raise management will not give me more than my 3% annual raise which is the single biggest let down. The bonus change of 2025 being labeled as "exciting" was straight corporate gaslighting unlike anything I've ever seen. Since the start of 2026, as of this review being written we have lost 7 associates largely due to pay, and I am soon to join those associates. Management from the store level up to corporate needs to understand that to retain their top performers they need to be compensated like a top performer. Some members of management are cliquey and moody which is very frustrating to deal with. Quality of Management varies wildly from store to store as well
