Pros

Umm.... I need a 20 word minimum so I guess I'll say there was free popcorn and pretty much free key rings so you can make key ring art. Probably just as bad as selling used cars anywhere though.

Cons

Unrealistic work load for less than premium pay. You get a salary so if you don't sell any cars you're still covered until you get fired for poor performance, but you have to try to not sell cars for that to happen. Uneducated people with no clue how interest works flock to drivetime to get their next repo. $50-$60k easy as long as you put in the hours and make the ridiculous amount of pointless phone calls and emails required every day before you can go home.

As a company that strives on constant improvement, innovation and problem solving, we always encourage our employees to discuss with their managers what the ideal DriveTime looks like for them. Are there are policies or procedure changes you think would benefit the company and our customers, please don't hesitate to share them.

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.
