Pros

DriveTime makes Car Sales Simple. It’s easy, smooth and reliable process leads to smooth interactions and happy customers, while the ecosystem of companies involved lend themselves to an overall positive experience for the customer.

Cons

I have not found any major cons so far. There have been minor inconveniences that come with any job, but overall I’m happy.

Thank you for sharing your experience as a Customer Experience Guide! As a company, we believe in carpooling to a shared destination - it's one of our core values. Because of this, we switched to a team-based commission to provide a pressure-free sales experience for our customers and a non-competitive sales environment for our employees. We want our employees to work together as a team, not against each other. This is also why we provide a base salary. Thank you for sharing your experience, we wish you continued success in your role!

Thank you for sharing your experience as a Data Analyst. We're glad to hear you enjoyed our culture as we strive to create opportunities and improve the lives of our employees and customers. Some customers that purchase from DriveTime may not have had the option to buy elsewhere. We work to find a way to get customers into a vehicle that will help improve their lives; having transportation to get to work, run errands with family, and to have the freedom of driving a vehicle. During the sales and contracting process, we provide each customer with the Federal Truth in Lending Disclosure which includes the APR, finance charge, amount financed, total amount expected to be paid throughout the loan, and the total sales price. Also, our customers are welcome to utilize third-party financing if they are not satisfied with the financing options offered through Bridgecrest, our finance partner. We hope this insight helps improve your outlook of our business!

Pros

Overall a good place to work as long as you are willing to put in the hard work. It pays ok. Not as much as a conventional dealership, but it is still ok.

Cons

Your hard work will only get you so far. You are more likely to get stuck in your current position for far less than what they will hire someone else in for. You will also end up doing the work of more than one person, while being told that you have training objectives to continually meet to progress forward. They will focus on the one mistake or short coming for the entire year when it comes time to discussing raises. If your work was 98% impeccable they will still harp on the 2% to not give you a raise or promotion.
