Pros
I'm a Buyer and we wear many hats. We are responsible for buying all the vehicles that we sell, either from auctions, and customer appraisals. We also price all the vehicles, coordinate our wholesale auctions, and manage sales consultants. One of the best things about the job is that we do so much, the days just fly by. The pay is OK and the benefits are decent. The culture is very young and fun. I like it a lot, and plan on being with Carmax for a very long time.
Kontras
The only thing I can think of is that our consultants are still being paid $150 per unit. I don't think this amount has changed since the company started.. As a Buyer, I am paid a decent salary, but I often wish we could pay an additional $50 per unit just to offset the inflation a bit for our consultants. They are the lifeblood of our company and I think they should be paid more. I hope this changes in the near future.
