CarMax Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I worked for Carmax for 6 plus years. I did enjoy my job, however, they made it difficult at times to do your job, and it was much more political to gain advancement that I thought it would be when hired. It was more of 'who you know "than what you could do". I only had one negative file review in 6 years, by the newest LGM I had, actually the only negative yearly review I have ever had in 40 years of working. They are not the "people" place they let on to be. 25% turnover rate last I knew."

"I've been to several Carmax locations and have come to the conclusion that Carmax in general is an excellent company to work for, however, this current location is severely lacking in management. All management at this location needs to work on improving their current staff rather than hiring in new blood. Overall, good company, bad location."

"Comfortable place to work. Nice atmosphere in forest setting, places to run and exercise. Home office colorful and friendly. Technologically, it is support the business first and so there are some antiquated technologies that have to be supported. Management seems to be fixated on buzz words, whether or not they actually work. So there are a handful of architects that play around with stuff while the rest of IT cleans up and supports the messes they make."

"I have worked at CarMax for a long time and I find myself restless and bored with my current position, but I do not have any interest in moving forward. I have found that I have peaked compensation-wise. Otherwise, the company treats employees well and is very ethical in its approach to sales and customer service."

"I've worked for Carmax since May 2013. They have great benefits and the co-workers are awesome. I enjoyed the flexible schedule and being your own boss. I would like to progress into a more professional venture and higher salary. I am looking for a company that can offer opportunity for advancement and accommodate with training. I am a quick learner and ambitious about advancement."
