Pros

Noting is good BAD BAD BAD What do you expect from a company that target poor and in need people with 25% APR and very high down payment which is the VISION of the CEO

Cons

* Unprofessional people working in the benefits and HR . They don't have a phone number and they have no HR training at all bunch of kids working under a lawyer. * Bad management. Unprofessional and incompetent managers. decision making is is not based on science but based on trail and error. the managers that control the company are 2 young inexperienced buddies from school. * I dont know if CEO, CRO AND CFO are needed in the company or it is just titles to sell the company. *if you are an intern it is a good place for you to work * dont waist your time working there * no insurance for 2 month and be careful not to get fired * very easy to get rid of you * nothing gained professionally *dont respect your culture and background bad HR

Pros

-This is a decent starting spot for the entry level college grad. You receive a base salary around 30k, and most decent sales people make 42k and more... so even if you are new to sales and are a bit nervous you can still get a paycheck.... -Free lunches from time to time -I still have a few good friends from my time at DT, although none of them work there anymore....go figure.

Cons

-Very long and boring hours. They don't advertise this...but they increase your hours during "tax time" and you may work upwards of 55 hours/week, yet they still pay you for 40. Oh, and you MUST work every Saturday during tax time, no questions asked. Your shift may be 10-8:30, leaving you no time for anything before or after work. -Your off-days are scattered, you have Sunday off and then a random day throughout the week. -They promote sheep; if you have any desire to move up in this company prepare yourself for even longer hours and be ready to be at their disposal. My manager actually made less than I did, but they sell you on "in order to move up at any company, you must make sacrifices". - If you are a sales advisor and have suggestions, they usually look down on you. Prepare to be a "suck up" if you want to be promoted. -The cars are garbage. If you have a soul you WILL feel bad for some of the people you sell to. They are clearly uneducated customers and think that just because they're getting financed, they're doing great. Little do they know (what you know), that car will most likely repo since their 10/hour job can't support their $210 BIWEEKLY payment. **One more thing, beware of reviews on here coming from Drivetime Corporate. They post good reviews on here to bring the average score up**

Pros

drivetime has a decent benifits package for all employees. the managers will spring for pizza every once in awhile from the cheapest place they can find and call it team building.

Cons

they turn on a dime and are very wishy washy. it is definitly a good ole boys club. they "lay off" high paid techs and then 2 weeks later post adds to hire new entry level techs and give them a $1000 sign on bonus but the techs that were laid off are forced to reapply if they want their job back and get there pay and senority cut if they do come back.
