- Our unlimited sick leave allows Gurus to take the time they need to care for their own physical or mental health and/or that of a family member.
- After 5 years at CarGurus, employees earn a one-month sabbatical, and get another after 10. People use this time to take dream vacations, visit family abroad, and attend playoff games... or to do nothing at all!
