Good place to work, good work environment, not much work/life balance

Senior salses advisor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great work environment, job security (the company expanded during the "great recession"), fun work environment, the company helps you to develop and grow with the company, good opportunities for career growth. On the management side you can really learn a lot about running a business.

Cons

DriveTime has come to rely so heavily on data, charts, and graphs that it feels like you can be micromanaged. Long hours, especially during tax season (up to 55-60 hours per week) become overwhelming to the mind and body. The company expects more and more but gives you less and less for what you do! While the company is having their most profitable year ever, the guys at the top are enjoying their HUGE bonuses while the front line retail employees get paid even less to do more work.

We appreciate your honest feedback. In regards to data, we want to be as efficient as we can in, but we do see how it can seem like we are micromanaging. That’s not our intention. We are taking steps to make tax season less stressful for our retail employees, including the possibility of switching to flexible hours, so please know that your concerns have been noted and we are actively working to provide a better balance. Our company-wide bonus structured is reviewed annually and modified to reward everyone as fairly as possible.

Great culture, promotional opportunities and very competitive pay. Company continuing to grow. The management at Drivetime always has an open door and seem to genuinely care for their employees.
