CarMax reviews

air condition, free food, easy work

do others jobs, do unsafe repairs, leads pass defects to get cars out, glue is CarMax friend. install junk yard parts even if they have been in accident, leads have favorites and will throw other under the bus if you stand up to their bullying, managers lie and have favorites, you cannot work their if you have a DUI but if your a favorite of managers they will let you stay, they order used carpets and if they do not match the same color they have paint department paint it black, a lot of repair lines are canceled cause techs not want to do the work, lube techs do not change oil filters on some cars cause they are scared, majority of the cars have bent wheels but leads will say balance and move path, if you go to management with issues they pretend to care but do nothing, CarMax pays the lowest to their techs in the industry, they glue boots on suspension parts instead of replacing at times. if tire has side wall damage leads tell techs to turn it inside out, wheel repairs are done very bad, often leads will tell tech to move path and if customer notices they will bring it back to let retail deal with it, managers will judge employees all the time. saw manager cut a wrong seat frame and drill holes to make it fit on current seat. air bag wiring is repaired, your told to replace one brake rotor and resurface the other to save money, i been told to shave down brake pads to make it fit in caliper by leads, managers see damage and say its fine specially if its friday, tail lamps that are broken are glued if can be, holes are drilled on lights to drain water and then glued,

80% of the employees, free food, air condition

benefits were good, fellow employees were great to work with, you get a bi-weekly paycheck

upper management is not on your side, HR does not care about you, the family atmosphere is BS, pay is minimal, they look to get new employees in the door and than proceed to ignore you, sales consultants are underpaid by half vs a traditional dealership, healthcare is expensive, sometimes more than if purchased separately

40k was good

nothing, they care more about their shareholders than actually making the company successful

be a actual manager of people, get your head out of the sand , care about your employees and help them grow

good luck

The pay is okay

Forced overtime with no breaks for months at a time, moral at all times low because of this. Managers play favorites all the time, if you stand up for your self you are instantly on their bad side. They don’t care about lower levels employees at all and will often ignore input. They have an open door policy but it’s almost impossible to ever get management to adhere to it.

The healthcare is not the worst

The company culture is wonderful! There is tons of opportunity for growth. CarMax develops it's associates which makes us better professionally and personally.

Regular associates aren't paid well till they get to a manager position.

I love every single person that I work with. They only hire kind caring people which makes for a pleasant working environment. I love our open door policy. I love that we get new personal goals.

I liked working with several motivated individuals. I really enjoyed preparing the work that was required to make our sales run smoothly for our weekly auctions.

I do not like the fact that I can't grow into a numbers position and am very limited into my capacity for what I want to grow into.

My favorite benefit is the healthcare insurance provided since it helps me take care of any medical issues I may have.

Diverse level engagement for problem solving and there is an open dialogue channel to senior level leaders.

Promotions tend to be biased based on personal relationships rather than skill or merit.

401k match

Benefits

Management in NJ is not good. They got there on rules. If they like u . U can stay if they don’t they make you life hard with write ups. It s not worth the hassle.

Nothing. He doesn’t come around enough to talk to service employee.

Equal opportunity for all ages not just the young.

Ace it

Nothing

Team and the development culture.

None - I love everything about working here.

Discount

The best part of working at Carmax is the 401k. It’s the reason I chose them over another employer paying me the same amount.

Diversity is mostly at the lower level positions. The work is extremely routine.

Good 401k, it’s 100% match up to 6%. Vacation and PTO is slightly above average.

It's easy to communicate with management and upper level management are pretty easy going and approachable.

Cec is fairly new therefore certain procedures are still being tested

I don't feel like they treat me as if "I'm easily replaceable"

The opportunity for growth and culture.

Finding the right cars for customers

The healthcare is not the worst

The culture and the growth mindset mentality

I would say the store is limited on growth in El Paso, the company as a whole has many opportunities for growth.

Student Tuition Reimbursement and having Christmas eve and day off

The pleasant environment

Nothing it’s a great place to work

Being able to do community work

Store review. People are nice and generally work well together. Clear understand of roles and expectations. Leadership generally consistent and sensitive to employees.

Pay is not exceptional

The do have a number of meal gatherings and other events to encourage employee connectivity.

Benifits, work life balance, good pay until changes

restructure lost integrity, cut pay

work life balance, retirement match and stock

Health insurance And payed vacation

This is a great company for employees who like a lot of structure. There are rarely any exceptions made to the rules. Good product and good opportunity for advancement

It is very much like the military. Everything has a documented procedure. If you are more of a free thinking kind of employee this place is not for you.

Discount on personal automobile purchase.

Meeting new people, working with some great people at car maxx, might have long hours but I built some great friendships. Ability to make money with car sales ship.

Not making enough money. Long hours, always on my feet, away from my family. Work after holidays like Christmas, there really is no time to myself,

Meeting new people
