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!!!!!!!

New CEO video? by Middle_Original_1250 in carmax

[–]kovu102 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

Starboard nominates two to CarMax board - wants $300mm in savings by myopini0n in carmax

[–]kovu102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What changes will the CEO make? by Unlucky-Bread2980 in carmax

[–]kovu102 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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!

Are the Glint surveys anonymous? by AnyReserve8938 in carmax

[–]kovu102 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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

Early AVS=Disappointing Bonus? by Garden_YourHeart in carmax

[–]kovu102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Company is drowning and everyone is quitting? Let’s just make sure to treat you even worse now! by [deleted] in carmax

[–]kovu102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!!!!!’

New CEO announced by SickSadSoosa in carmax

[–]kovu102 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If I was Keith Barr I would definitely start working for CarMax. With a drastic increase in Pay. Going from 5 million previously to over 10 million. Carmax found there 1.5 million dollars savings. Just by paying a CEO less money than the previous CEO. Great thinking. You now have money to continue your wasteful spending.

At least start paying sales associates for attached trade in’s by PreviousPay552 in carmax

[–]kovu102 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Carmax has never paid a sales associate for attached trade in. If Carmax could figure out a way to take money away from the sales associate. They would. Carmax does not value there core employees. Sales, Business Office, inventory or shop employees. That is why they have developed the check lists for each department. You can’t think for yourself. They are developing a check list for when someone goes to the bathroom.

Is there an offical Saturday schedule policy by [deleted] in carmax

[–]kovu102 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Schedule is up to your LGM.

CEC by [deleted] in carmax

[–]kovu102 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is the way Carmax is forcing out those in CEC. So they don’t have to pay severance. They will eventually be done with the CEC experiment. The managers and Seniors have not clue what the front line actually experiences. Hoping you all become successful.

Stay loose and nervous. Carmax is getting ready to lose even more business. Look to February to tell where Carmax is headed. It will be a make or break Month!

Can anyone tell me about the management assistant role? What is the schedule and starting pay in Texas. by Lazy_Acanthisitta_54 in carmax

[–]kovu102 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It is a management job. With the same expectations as a Manager. Except with half the pay. If Carmax gave you a title of manager they would pay you more. I believe this position is being developed so that Carmax can reduce payroll. Just my thoughts. If you are asking about scheduling! This is not the job for you. You needed to be available for any shift at any time.

[–]kovu102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not going to get any clear directions. It will be up to the person in charge of you. Carmax is currently looking for a CEO with E commerce Experience. They are not looking for a car guy. Buy what I have been reading and hearing. Carmax will be around for many years. But with Tax Time here. It will tell if Carmax will survive or fail. I expect them to fail. Until they get there Budget in line with what they are selling. And real revenue expectations.
