When there is a good flow.

Review from Sales Dept

Seeing co workers, driving, handling cars

Building team members to there best abilities

Interaction with customers and fleet drivers

I work in IT with a bunch of really smart people who work hard to make sure our systems are available. We have fun and a shared sense of purpose.

making money without going to the end of the earth

Coming there,sharing ideas,and working together

The people I work with and that the culture based on the great people hired.

When I get to learn from senior leadership.

Having a caring RVPGM that wants to develop you and does not micro manage you.

Review from Sales Dept

Opportunities for advancement, other team members with good energy, cooperation and helping among associates and interdepartmental

The people I work with

Work flies by, whether it’s because it’s busy, you’re doing something fun, good friendships or the fact you actually get to go outside and get sun

Co-workers and the overall environment

Getting access to the latest tools and information. Always having smart team members to partner with.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Communication and hr on premise

Review from Operations Dept

the upper management culture needs to go back to the old days, when they actually cared about their employees

They are rude they always complain

Review from Admin Dept

Better leadership is needed, including management. Everyone looks over the real problem and is not announced. The manager is always missing. And the assistant manager very unprofessional and needs management classes. Too many associates trying to be leadership and ate not being properly trained.

Car business is dying out fast

Stop making horrible mistakes to people and make them pay for them!! Cars on the lot for customers to shop should all be available and not to only selected employees

Poor quality cars, low inventory, constant overcoming customer complaints.

Stop selling cars that haven’t even been cleaned, they stink, they have mechanical issues and they’re too expensive. CarMax capitalizes on those customers who can’t purchase elsewhere due to bad credit. They have low quality standards & so does their customer

Review from Sales Dept

Our management team is very poor and is not understanding with our mechanics

Review from Operations Dept

fire managers and hire ones that know what they are doing

Review from Operations Dept

The laziness of the employees and managers.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Leadership has went down the toilet

Review from Sales Dept

Carmax boasts about the opportunity to advance, but it is very easy to get stuck in any particular position. It would be easier and cheaper to place an already loyal, hard-working employee in position and train them into what you need.

Review from Admin Dept

the corporate should carefully listen to all associate's concerns and eliminate all those bad managers that are greedy and disrespectful

Review from Admin Dept

What do you like best about your company?

name recognition carries a lot of weight

Leaving for work to go home.

What would you most like to see improved at your company?

Co-workers who care as much as I do

Giving me less hours for the same amount of pay.
