Pros

As a member on the sales floor. Getting to work with other people for long hours, you get to know them both professionally and personally (both can cause trouble). The money is good during tax season, but it will get difficult when there are many people on the sales floor.

Cons

No work/life balance, this can cause problems in relationships and other things. Management can micro-manage and be petty on many areas of what go on. Rather than talk to you they hid behind a computer and discuss in email until a write up comes. Long hours it makes no sense that the hours the dealerships are open basically have no life. Over priced used cars with high interest rate. Always adding people to an already crowed dealership. The DriveTime I was hired with, is turning into a basic car dealership, not the one where it was actually trying to help and cared.

Pros

This company offers a great step into the world of car sales being that is negotiation free pricing.

Cons

If you want work life balance, good professional development or consistent commission plans this is not the place.

Thank you for your review and we are sorry to hear you didn't have the best experience with the company. The company is constantly developing strategies to improve personal development. We have offered specialized training for all parts of the business and continue to have monthly web-based training through our Organizational Development Department.

Pros

Meeting with different customers everyday and the friendships you make at work because of the long hours you spend there.

Cons

There is no work-life balance...they frown on taking time off. If you start off as a sales advisor you will not be promoted higher than a General Manager. Upper management past GM does not take criticism well and most are not business minded..... Your pay structure will change constantly without notice

Thank you for your review. The company strongly believes in promoting from within as openings become available. In fact a majority of our current Senior Leadership started off as Sales Advisors.
