Pluspunten

Excellent training program - I had zero sales experience prior to working at CarMax. Their training program covered the basics, and their environment/culture made it easy to approach anyone for help or feedback.

Minpunten

As a sales consultant, you must work retail hours. If you don't like working nights or EVERY weekend, then it isn't the job for you. Also, it is flat rate commission pay - their commission rate has remained the same since the early to 2000s (could be better). Furthermore, in order to make decent money, expect to put in a few 12 hour days each week. Because it is commission, you will sometimes face scenarios where you'll spend a lot of time with customers who CAN'T buy a car, for one reason or another, which is time wasted. You are also expected to answer the store phones for 3 hours a day and respond to web leads. Many of the phone calls during this time are not sales related, so you are essentially acting as a secretary during that time, while not getting paid.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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
