Pros

Average Pay. If you work hard, avoid the office politics, mind your own buisness and work hard you can do ok. Do your job and go home.

Cons

It's kind of like being in high school. Be careful. Very clicky. Some nepotism, gossiping, drama, backstabbing, bearing of false witnesses among some of the employees. If you rub managers the wrong way by speaking up for yourself or complain your Done. Can be retaliatory. Long tenure, highly paid employees tend to be "managed out". The company was up for sale or merger recently. Hiring Temps. High turnover in some departments.

We are very concerned about your comments and would like the opportunity to discuss them with you. Even as a former employee, your input is critical to our continued growth and success. Please reach out to our Speak Up line (it's anonymous) so we can discuss your comments in detail. To clarify a few points, DriveTime has not be involved in merger or acquisition deal (DriveTime being acquired by another company) for many years. We have made our share of acquisitions and have re-structured parts of our company, which is what you may be referring to. We are still the same family-owned organization we have been since 2002. We also hire permanent, full-time employees in the vast majority of our positions. We've never had a policy of hiring "temps" in our company - at any role. We always want to hire people who are looking for a "place to stay" and not a "temporary solution." While our company leads our industry among the lowest turnover rates, we still know we have room to improve. Again, your feedback would be insightful in helping us understand what else we can do to lower our attrition.

Pros

Great atmosphere to work in. Great team environment. Competitive, but also team oriented. All superiors were super helpful and you could go to anyone if you had a question, plus they were always giving you feed back and how you can improve your calls. Bonuses were good with a lot of weekly contests with incentives for top performers. Plus some fun minute to win it challenges that we did just for fun. So sad I had to leave when I moved out of state.

Cons

Days do get a little long and monotonous, since all phone conversations were the same and only about 4 min long. Had to deal with some unhappy customers.

We understand the hours in retail can be daunting at times. We know this is an area that needs adjustment and we are planning to have an open-forum discussion in the near future on how to improve efficiencies in our dealerships.
