Unhappy Carmax?

Am currently working at Beach Ford for past 3 1/4 years, like it for most part.
I had an interview with Carmax the other day and pretty much got the job @ 20
an hour. Just wanted your opinion on Carmax, maybe had a friend that worked there or something. All feedback welcome. Thnx

well i will be in service dept. but im not sure about sales though....the way they sell cars is completely different than any other car dealership.
im pretty sure there are bonuses or extra commision for exceptional sales. When i know more i will let yea in on it.
but yes they do sell new and used cars, but the used cars have to pass a very strict inspection process, otherwise it goes on the auction block.

Yeah, Zack. You might want to make it more clear what you will be doing @ Carmax. Since you didn't, I think $20/hr to wash cars is awesome!
