Pros

Culture is tremendous, managers are well supported and given a lot of autonomy. Not a high pressure sales environment but still able to get high performance. Pay is good not great. Management opportunities are good and you don't have to start from the bottom.

Cons

work/life balance. Extreme culture of constant feedback can be off putting at first. Not necessarily longer hours but they are definitely later. Many nights end well after closing and this can wear thin over time. Companies culture is constant change and to an outsider it feels like instability and re-activeness. In order to move up you have to either move to Phoenix where the corporate offices are or wait your turn for an A/D spot to open and for what? More work? More time away from my family? Great job for a single person with few attachments. Pay structure changes literally every year=more instability. Sales Advisors can make just as much as the GM and have absolutely no buy-in to push for more sales at a certain point because their bonuses are guaranteed whereas management's is dependent on hitting a budget. It's all or nothing for our bonus.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are disappointed to hear that the changes that have taken place this year were seen as instability. We recognize the challenges that come with change however the goal is always to move forward a stronger, more stable company for our customers and employees. We encourage you to reach out to your Assistant Director or Director to discuss some of the concerns you have and to seek a stronger understanding of some of the recent changes you have seen.

Pros

It's nice to get paid hourly plus commission. Traditional dealerships are mostly only paid commission so that's a plus for me.

Cons

Poor management, micro managing due to lack of training now the beginning. Don't like the fact that when you make a mistake, you are basically chewed out for it.

Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. Transparency in feedback, both positive and constructive, is a large part of DriveTime culture however we are disappointed to hear your experience felt more like micro-management. We appreciate you providing your thoughts to help us improve this.
