Flexible and endless career opportunities.

CarMax is invested in their associates’ futures. They constantly advocate for career development and support curiosity — empowering associates to shape their career paths in ways that they may have never even imagined. As part this commitment, CarMax:

• Offers tailored training and mentorships (formal and informal) to help associates discover passions and pursue interests.

  • The relationships created during these programs enable associates to get personalized feedback and guidance, helping them to feel supported and enhancing the team environment of CarMax. 

• Encourages associates to use their technical expertise in new ways.

  • CarMax motivates associates to use their technical expertise by taking a dual-track agile approach to their work, where cross-functional product teams use a mobile-first mindset to solve problems that don’t always have clear solutions.

• Provides a wide variety of opportunities for associates to redefine their careers.

  • There are many opportunities at CarMax for team members to grow and shape their careers. And, no matter where associates work, they know that they are helping to make a real difference by redefining an industry, helping local communities and giving customers an unparalleled positive experience.

In regards to growing a career at CarMax, Julia Barnhart, Senior Technology Manager, Data Science & Machine Learning, says, “Bring your ideas, bring your hunger and we’ll help you succeed. You take this journey with us. We give you the training, the opportunities and the mentorship that you need to grow your career.”

Joining an inclusive culture.

CarMax’s vision is for everyone, everywhere to have the same opportunity to reach their full potential. Diversity and inclusion are important to the CarMax culture because they believe that treating people with care and respect is central to who they are. CarMax is a special place to work, and they want everyone to feel a sense of belonging. They believe that welcoming and including different perspectives strengthens their workplace culture, helping everyone at CarMax.

Associates appreciate the culture of support at CarMax. Just ask Suzanne Cardwell, their Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, who says that, “Many times, those of us in the LGBTQIA+ community feel that we have to hide parts of our identity at work. I love the feeling of belonging at CarMax. I’m proud to be a leader in an organization that invites associates to bring their full selves to work.”

The leadership at CarMax is also fully committed to fostering an inclusive culture. For example, Barnhart notes that leading with the values of diversity, inclusion, creativity and fun are some of the foundations for bringing people together and solving today’s most complex global problems.
