"Employeed over 10 years. Happy to go to work. Proud to tell people where I work."

What do you like about working at CarMax?

"In an industry known for taking advantage of the customer and employees, CarMax maintains high integrity and actually cares about the people who work and shop here. I have been employed with CarMax for over 10 years and am always proud to tell someone where I work. I look forward to going in each morning. I feel appreciated, empowered and challenged. Yes, it pays the bills, but it is much more than that."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"When asked a question during the interview process, give an answer with a clear takeaway as to the situation, your role or responsibility in the situation, what actions you took and the result of your actions. This would seem to be a no-brainer, but it is amazing how many people come into an interview and think that bragging about what a great closer they were or how many hours they worked in their previous job will be enough. CarMax is very concerned about hiring Associates who are a good CarMax fit. All of the questions that are asked of a candidate during an interview are targeted towards discovering that persons strength or weakness in a particular competency that applies to the job for which they are applying."

What don't you like about working at CarMax?

"Any job that deals with the public will have it's moments of frustration, but my frustration is always with the actions and attitudes of the people coming through the door and not with those of the CarMax Company or my fellow employees or managers."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I have none at this time. Any suggestions that I have had in the past have been greeted with respect and consideration. Not all of my suggestions have been acted upon, but it would be an unrealistic expectation to think that any company could act upon every recommendation of every employee. There are often issues behind the scenes that the person making the suggestion is not privy to."
