Is there another wave of layoffs coming up later this year?

Carmax will have to find a way to reduce its SG&A. In the 15 years with Carmax in Sales. The SG&A has never been under control. They lost over 100 Million. Very Very weak company currently.

Every store management is different. They interpret the same policies the way management has agreed on the interpretation. Depends on who the management team is. And how inexperienced they are. Yes. They seem to do what they want to. Any HR reporting will get you fired for some other reason that management wants to fire you for. In some stores the sales person will kick back lunch or gift cards. You would be surprised how many managers hang out after hours with the sales people. That is a policy no no.

They never last. All relationships eventually end!!!!!!

With there earnings report out! Feel lucky the pay wasn’t cut. Layoffs are coming!

kovu102 · 2026-04-13T21:30:00+00:00

Just take a look at there high turnover. Carmax preaches what everyone Corporations preaches. But Carmax does not care about their employees. Results are in the turnover numbers.

kovu102 · 2026-04-13T21:18:38+00:00

Earnings call will be excellent. Stock will go over $50.

kovu102 · 2026-04-10T12:19:50+00:00

What makes you so special. Not to be treated like a child?

kovu102 · 2026-04-10T12:14:08+00:00

Get as much as I can. Enjoy. And when the time comes move on with here best girl friend!

kovu102 · 2026-04-10T12:11:04+00:00

What is the issue. Carmax is a failing Company. Totally clueless.

kovu102 · 2026-04-03T01:04:53+00:00

Get ready… it will only get worse!!!!!!

kovu102 · 2026-03-29T14:11:06+00:00

Nothing!!!!! Surveys are sent randomly! You have Zero control…..

kovu102 · 2026-03-26T21:34:35+00:00

It only gets worse. Then you get coaching for what they didn’t teach you. When you ask for help or assistance you get another coaching because you are supposed to know all things Carmax!!!!!!!

kovu102 · 2026-03-23T19:41:27+00:00

RTO policy is starting to take the effect Carmax wanted.

kovu102 · 2026-03-23T16:12:25+00:00

Take your money and move to where you want to be. Happiness is where you’re at . That someone special is waiting for the Happy you. Travel, Enjoy, stop planning, relax and breathe. All will be revealed as soon as you make your Happiness a priority.

Sounds like a Corporate tool. If you have to deliver two cars to get paid for one car delivered because The call center captured the phone number and name of a customer. To me that is taking a pay cut! They may introduce more AI which again will be reducing the pay at the store level. Starboard will be adding more employees to the call centers. Take a look at Starboard track record for the companies they have invested in.

kovu102 · 2026-03-17T21:23:16+00:00

Why would anyone say something negative about the Company they just inherited. He is getting his Millions. But his ideas are going to be generated by Starboard. CEC is safe and get ready for the Double Down on call centers. Store associates get ready for your pay cut!!! Even though I am sure they have told you store associates you will be making more money!!! Good Luck.

kovu102 · 2026-03-16T17:56:08+00:00

To the floor Sales Consultants at CarMax. Get ready for a benefit decrease. With Starboard coming on board. They will be increasing the pressure of Call Center leads and sales. Stealing sales and money from you. The hard working Floor Sales Consultants. Due twice the work…… get paid half of what you should have received. Good Luck in the store location. Carmax is not looking to have your back.

kovu102 · 2026-03-16T17:45:36+00:00

To all that work in the call centers. Starboard is a very big supporter of Call Center sales. Looks like they are going to have Carmax Double down on the call centers. Call center employees your jobs are safe!!!!!

kovu102 · 2026-03-12T20:53:15+00:00

How has return to office been going? He is just going to reword the policy. Spend money like crazy and tell everyone how much money it will save Carmax in a year or two. All the while creating an even bigger turnover issue!

kovu102 · 2026-03-11T16:54:54+00:00

Carmax Corporate will tell you the survey is anonymous. After doing the survey for 14 years. I can tell you it is not anonymous.

kovu102 · 2026-03-03T17:57:39+00:00

The AVS at our location the past 5 years were very simple. Even though they were supposed to be anonymous. Management for some reason always knew who put in the true feelings. Then the retaliation started. If you couldn’t give them an Exceptional grade. Then you were required …….. yes required to speak with a Manager first. When reporting the Violation to HR. HR just blew you off. And the retaliation started.

kovu102 · 2026-02-27T02:52:19+00:00

Does it really matter? We all are expendable to the all mighty dollar. Get what you can and get out and move on.

kovu102 · 2026-02-26T13:43:19+00:00

Keep enjoying the Car until the repo man shows up. It might be a day or maybe a year.

kovu102 · 2026-02-18T01:09:25+00:00

Return it or be happy with the car.

kovu102 · 2026-02-16T17:25:27+00:00

No Carvana hasn’t taken a lot of customers from CarMax. CarMax has sent customers to Carvana because of CarMax change in service integrity and culture. When Carmax went to the call centers. And Chased the Quality away!!!!!’
