      For the most part, a great place to work. Limited opportunities for advancement.

      Pros

      Fun work environment. Paid holidays. After 5 years of employment, you get 2 PTO per month. Pace of work changes from day to day. Some days are chill while others are non-stop busy. As a manager, you wear many different hats which prepares you to be a more well rounded employee at future jobs. DriveTime management is typically flexible with employee if you have a special event or function attend.

      Cons

      Limited opportunities for promotion. Unpredictable schedule in which you may be scheduled to leave at 6pm but don't end up leaving until 10pm due to high traffic volume. DriveTime makes you accept all applications, even though the customer may walk in the door with 1 minute until close. You then have to stay as late as the customer wants to be there. I had instances where I was about to close the front doors, a customer walks in, then I'm stuck at the dealership until midnight. Complaints about management are typically seen as retaliation by subordinates rather than feedback.

      Pros

      You’re insured the 30th day

      Cons

      It’s a car sales job. Double standards! Customers are given optional products, BUT you have to sell it. You’re pretty much a sales person, admin assistant and of course a lot tech! You have to replace accessory parts ie: batteries! Wipers, headlights, etc. management pretends they care, but definitely pressured by executives to high sales during the pandemic. They’ve stopped talking about PANDEMIC and focus on numbers. Just like any other corporations. They want you to do everything I mean everything so you’re stressed and under pressure at all times to finish everything including your title paperwork, post sale + training online and of course you’re salaried, so no OT. In short, if you’re desperate for a job and love heavy LABOR for $50k have at it.
