Pros

None! And their is Nothing good to say. Some stores have bad management and working there would be a nightmare. Try talking with some of the employees before taking the leap.

Cons

Long hours, low pay, bad management. Working outdoors in the elements either roasting or freezing. Never getting any positive feedback but always getting negative feedback. They are stat happy and run reports every day by the forestful. Slow economy and dwindling sales means you better want to work every single day and make your quota if you want to hang onto your job. No haggle doesn't mean no pressure. You are expected to sell every customer coming through the door and heaven help you if you don't.

Pros

Remote work, first 2 weeks of the 2 month training, offers sick time before PTO rolls in

Cons

Little to no worklife balance, toxic positivity (like when they called the meeting about taking away our bonuses “exciting news” and tried to gaslight us as to why this was a good thing), extreme micromanagement, listening to our headsets constantly without us knowing, AI rating our metrics, unrealistic expectations, you basically do 4 jobs in one (at Carvana, appraisals / selling, financial applications and documents / EPUs, sales and customer service were ALL DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.
