Pros

The compensation amount and all other aspects of this job really is what they tell you in the interviewing process. You really do make $50K first year or close to it. This company has a generous PTO arrangement. This company provides you with a lot of warm sales leads. I have 180 in my account currently. It is a team environment, and the business practice is structured in a way that encourages employees to work together. Every piece of work a sales advisor does is noted in the system and saved, and the company has regulations on place ensuring appropriate people get either full or split commission, which ensures a conflict free workplace among employees. Managers and district managers frequently buy lunch for the entire dealership for good performance. The company closes early for minor holidays like Halloween. It's really a good opportunity that is recommend to anyone.

Cons

No real job can be 100 percent perfect. The good things DriveTime guarantees do come at expense of a few things that are not ideal. The hours can be tough, and sometimes unpredictable. They are upfront about this in the interview. It's not always an easy job. You must have the personality and professionalism to walk people through a multi-step sales process. As a high-risk lender, there is a lot of paperwork and steps required to buy a car there, and sometimes, some customers get anxious about it. However, that is not common, and for the vast most part, people come and leave happy.

Pros

I enjoy working for Drivetime. I have always had an interest in selling cars, but the safety of a guaranteed salary made it a no brainer. I work with a great group of people at the Pershall Rd. location, with supportive management. The new 4 day on, 3 day off schedule is a breath of fresh air! My goal is to make it to corporate eventually as a collections manager, and I feel this is a great steppingstone. I'd recommend this company to anyone seeking career growth with a strong employer.

Cons

None that I have encountered. Work life balance has become of great importance, and it shows in the employee morale.
