Pros

DriveTime's culture is truly open, collaborative and team-focused. Every member of the team is accessible and appreciates other departments' inputs and ideas when solving a technical or operational problem. On the tax side, we are constantly asked to participate in key business decisions and suggest the most "tax efficient" way to solve problems for the Company, our shareholders and our customers. Our flow-through taxation structure creates significant technical challenges and ample chances for research and learning. DriveTime being privately held permits the tax department can spend more time reviewing and current and prospective tax planning and looking for process improvements - in both income and sales tax. We insource our income return preparation and frequently review complex issues around stock compensation, transfer pricing, R&D and state and local tax credits and incentives, among other things.

Cons

DriveTime and its senior leadership constantly challenge the status quo and look for ways to maximize business value. Some on the outside may see this as a "con" because it involves consistent attention to non-routine matters and sometimes "up and down" schedules. However, I think this environment gives each employee a significant chance for growth and tax and accounting technical development for those with the right attitude.

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.
