30 min phone screen with a regional recruiter. Approx 3 hr in-person process. I was not warned ahead of time, and was concerned, as I had another interview later that afternoon. First panel is background questions to verify there were no lies or omissions on application. Second panel with senior manager with "tell me about a time..." questions. Third panel with another senior manager with similar, more management based questions. Lastly, spoke with the purchasing manager about next steps. On follow-up visit, completed skills test, drug test, & was offered position, but pay was vague in initial offer. I had to clarify pay and benefits. They expected a yes or no answer without that info being given to me.

Applied online. An automated email arrived, asking me to complete an assessment. The assessment was 50% personality traits and 50% basic math. The HR recruiter reached out and scheduled a phone interview. CarMax Buyers work a retail schedule that includes weekends and holidays. Buyers are required to work a 'rotating schedule' - some weeks it will be evenings and weekends, some weeks it will be days, or both. Buyers are expected to available whenever CarMax schedules you with no scheduling predictivity. Therefore, do not plan on any other non-work activities which requires being able to plan a schedule more than a week or so in advance. Your time becomes their time 24/7 during store operating hours. If your life includes scheduled activities outside of work - say, for instance, coaching your child's sports team after school - understand that you'll need to give that up in order to work here. Don't mention those activities during the interview if you hope to get hired. One of the CarMax core values is 'Putting People First.' There seems to be a conflict between this stated public value and their scheduling expectations for staff members.
