Pros

I learned a lot at DriveTime, I can say with confidence that I had solid 8+ successful years at this Company! I got really comfortable receiving and delivering feedback (both, constructive and positive) in a nutshell: my management skills got only stronger at DT, this company allowed me to develop myself in a personal and professional way, and I was also able to develop others (which is the best reward... "your legacy"!!) more importantly: DriveTime was good to me and I was good to DriveTime. Sr. Management- great people! very personable and engaged. I learned something from every single one of them, specially from my Director, he always took the time to have meaningful conversations with his GM's and I was fortunate to belong to his group! As a Manager you will get a driver (you can borrow a company car and rotate every 2-3 days... any year/maker/model!!) Great health benefits and 401K!!!

Cons

Absolutely no work-life balance! If you want to succeed at this company, there's no other way than putting EXTRA of your time! To maximize payroll some of the stores are understaffed, this impacts not only customer experience, but it also affects every single Team Member! Example: salary employees end up working 10+ hour shifts consistently. Training structure is much needed: the guides/material available are outdated, as a Manager your training skills must be "on point" to be able to compensate the lack of updated material.

Pros

DriveTime knows how to balance problem solving with fun. I've been able to find purpose in my work with large collaborative work spaces and a strong sense of community that drives the culture. Employees over all well being is a priority, and they offer many tools to make the most out of your professional, and home life.

Cons

I think as an organization they are pushing full steam ahead which can sometimes make it hard to maintain a work life balance as you are getting swept up in the wake.
