Pros

You're going to make a decent living starting as a Sales Advisor for this company. Over the years I was fortunate enough to work with several managers, all were invested in making sure we knew how to do our jobs to the utmost ability. All of my teammates were just a joy to work with, I don't know about other locations but the one I worked at had us looking out and helping each other. When I made the decision to pursue other interests, the toughest part was realizing I would no longer be seeing them day to day. I am thankful that DriveTime gave me a chance when I needed it the most.

Cons

Long hours! Not uncommon to get a customer 15 minutes before closing, only to be there for another few hours. You are also working in the elements, so rain, sleet, hail, snow and 100 degree days... you're in it! You are also financing customers with less than stellar credit, you're not always going to get ones that are cheerful, and you need to learn not to take it personal.

Pros

Break room Covered work area good lighting

Cons

Deceptive Company policy that is hard to access (Need to create a case with HR to review policies that are not easily located). Management over work with little notice for demand of Overtime. Management Typically uses google search to base their decisions instead of consulting their diagnostic team. Over demand of core job responsibilities ( Doing more than what you agreed to do upon hire). If Something was missed or not performed a certain way management will stop your production to show what you did wrong with the expectation that you will still hit production targets. Management also tends to talk down instead of a coaching approach. If you happen to go above and beyond (which is hard to do) little rewards come your way ( Things that wont come). Typical work shifts consists of maintaining a pace that is hard to achieve to always hit targets even if several roadblocks are in the way that you cant avoid. Overall working here I found it difficult to effectively communicate with management or other co-workers. * Working here I have personally experienced Sexual harassment and sexual assault, I have informed management and have heard no update on that topic other than "talked to said employee". Then Said Employee's behavior changed and found it extremely difficult to perform duties.
