Pros

Outstanding company culture, great benefits. Advancement opportunities. Progressive company that fills a need in a niche market. Every financial institution is entilted to make a profit by risking their own capital. The higher the risk, the higher the profit. Drive time is no exception. Those employees who do not grasp this should probably consider other employment. I know for a fact that DriveTime reconditions its automobiles to high standards and stands behind these cars with an unheard of warranty in the used car market. We produce a great product and I'm proud to work for this company.

Cons

The environment is a tough one, but that is to be expected. It certainly could be worse. Hours are long, but hours are long in management regardless of industry. Hourly workers are always paid overtime. Salaried folks are not. This is nothing unusual. Every corporate company in the United States has salaried people working over 50-55 hour weeks. If you're a good manager, you're going to have to put in your time. If you're complaining about it online...you're very likely not.

Pros

As an intern, DriveTime has offered me work experience that has proven to be unrivaled to that of my peers. The amount of responsibility and latitude offered surpassed any expectations that I could have ever anticipated. There are also various opportunities to move about within the company. DriveTime has also offered me considerable compensation, which is often hard to find as an intern. I have always been treated with respect, and when I have run into a problem I have always been able find someone help me find a solution. The senior leaders are also willing to help whenever possible. Overall, DriveTime has been a great company for me to gain real-world experience.

Cons

As of right now, I cannot think of any "downsides" of working for DriveTime. While still in college, it is often difficult to find a job/internship where you get the level of respect and development opportunity that I have. I would highly recommend this internship to anyone. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
