"Was micromanaged to the point of exhaustion."
What do you like about working at CarMax?
"The coworkers were helpful, friendly and making the most of a bad situation."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Don't answer the phone when they call to set up the initial interview. If you must interview with this company, ask sales people who have been there for 6 months to 2 years what the actual average monthly pay is, and what the turnover rate is. Chances are both with be significantly different than what your interviewer tells you."
What don't you like about working at CarMax?
"Massive micromanagement. Management's role seemed to consist entirely of making observations, writing reviews based on those observations, then providing the sales people the opportunity to read and sign those reviews."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Pay your sales people something close to an industry standard for automobile sales. This is especially necessary considering your salespeople have to put up with all of the negatives associated with any selling job, as well as with the constant input from management regarding what they should be doing better."

"Crippling management that can not think. Mindless robots that follow the script."
What do you like about working at CarMax?
"Do not like anything about this company."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Yes - get a job somewhere else."
What don't you like about working at CarMax?
"Let's face it, if this company was doing well the employee turnover would not be so high. Yes the car industry has a high turnover but at CarMax it is extraordinarily high. Many people are looking for jobs to get over these hard times however the CarMax way is not your answer. While training they build themselves up by presenting you with brainwashing videos over and over and about the forth week of training you better be ready to drink the cool-aid. No support system the management, has no clue about any company resources and if you have question about benefits they tell you to call an 800 number and speak to a third party provider that has no clue. Do yourself a favor and find a job at McDonalds at least they do not lie about the job and its benefits or the hours you will be working."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Upper management have no clue about running a company. They have come to their positions by favoritism - no previous experience required - and they try to justify their position by making up new rules and guidelines that are worthless at best."

"I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company. I would not recommend it."
What don't you like about working at CarMax?
"Overworked, underpaid, lack of respect from managers. Reactionary at solving problems. Company has no concept of proactively seeking improvements and better practices. Not clear how they have survived this long. Terrible employee turnover due to lowest compensation possible. Hiring signs are built in to the building."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Publicly traded and as long as they keep bottom line, management will stay the same. It's a matter of time though. They have cut so much to keep bottom line looking profitable it has resulted in hurting many people and word is getting out."

"Fake team environment, very cut throat"
What do you like about working at David Weekley Homes?
"Vision of owner, working with customers, sales training program in Houston, 401k match"
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Be prepared for the few tenured employees to get nasty with you. There is a pecking order and if you do well and threaten the status quo expect to have backlash. You will be the problem if you decide to speak out against the backlash and will be told you are throwing said employee under the bus.. If you can handle that type of environment, you can do well. Other areas may be better/ may follow national company procedures."

"Unprofessional, use and abuse people, lie to employees at the bottom to manipulate them example telling builder if they work on christmas eve they will make the goals for the entire team when it has already been met, fuzzy numbers in meetings everyone out for #1 only, gossipy clique environment, sales coach for florida state is horrible and lies to advance her best friends and degrades others-reads straight from DW handbook-um anyone can do that. Do I really need to go in on my day off to be treated like a preschooler No actual sales managent. You will be answering to a builder that doesnt get sales or appreciate that it is hard work."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Value your sales people and builders not just the very few who have been there a lengthy time. Create a professional environment and eliminate backbiting. Demand that all people be treated with basic respect even if a tenured employee is in a mood. Tampa is a hostile work environment lawsuit waiting to happen. Its crazy what is tolerated there. It doesnt matter if its the construction industry. Its not ok for people to be yelled at and called names and belittled."
