Pros

Fun work environment. Paid holidays. After 5 years of employment, you get 2 PTO per month. Pace of work changes from day to day. Some days are chill while others are non-stop busy. As a manager, you wear many different hats which prepares you to be a more well rounded employee at future jobs. DriveTime management is typically flexible with employee if you have a special event or function attend.

Cons

Limited opportunities for promotion. Unpredictable schedule in which you may be scheduled to leave at 6pm but don't end up leaving until 10pm due to high traffic volume. DriveTime makes you accept all applications, even though the customer may walk in the door with 1 minute until close. You then have to stay as late as the customer wants to be there. I had instances where I was about to close the front doors, a customer walks in, then I'm stuck at the dealership until midnight. Complaints about management are typically seen as retaliation by subordinates rather than feedback.

Thank you for stopping by and leaving a review for us. We appreciate your time and dedication to DriveTime for 5+ years! We agree that everyday brings something new whether it is the pace of the day, the situations we are in, or even the lessons we learn, which also makes it a fun and interesting and place to work at! Our customers help drive our business, and with the help of our retail staff, your help impacts their car buying experience. When a customer has 1 minute before the store closes for the night, that's the difference between us and other companies; we are dedicated from the very beginning. We appreciate your feedback on the leadership promotions. Our leaders go through career development and ongoing training to ensure they and their teams are successful along the way. Through coaching and feedback for all employees at every level, we are confident they have the support and the potential to be impactful and successful. Thank you again for taking the time to write a review. While our time together has come to an end, we hope your next venture offers the fun work environment you once had with DriveTime. Best of luck!

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.
