Pros
The compensation amount and all other aspects of this job really is what they tell you in the interviewing process. You really do make $50K first year or close to it. This company has a generous PTO arrangement. This company provides you with a lot of warm sales leads. I have 180 in my account currently. It is a team environment, and the business practice is structured in a way that encourages employees to work together. Every piece of work a sales advisor does is noted in the system and saved, and the company has regulations on place ensuring appropriate people get either full or split commission, which ensures a conflict free workplace among employees. Managers and district managers frequently buy lunch for the entire dealership for good performance. The company closes early for minor holidays like Halloween. It's really a good opportunity that is recommend to anyone.
Cons
No real job can be 100 percent perfect. The good things DriveTime guarantees do come at expense of a few things that are not ideal. The hours can be tough, and sometimes unpredictable. They are upfront about this in the interview. It's not always an easy job. You must have the personality and professionalism to walk people through a multi-step sales process. As a high-risk lender, there is a lot of paperwork and steps required to buy a car there, and sometimes, some customers get anxious about it. However, that is not common, and for the vast most part, people come and leave happy.
