Engaged Employer

Not a terrible company but the hours, not having enough staff, and leadership being out of touch will make it tough. - General Manager DriveTime Automotive Group Employee Review

Pros

You work with great people and the PTO benefits are good,

Cons

Long hours typically get home late at night. They haven't adjust staffing since covid to accommodate the added responsibilities to the GM role. They also haven't adjusted the bonus structure since they scaled it back during covid. It's hard to motivate your sales team when you have a top performer getting the same bonus as your bottom performer.

Thank you for sharing your experience as a General Manager. We’re glad to hear you’ve had a positive experience working with your team and have found value in our PTO benefits. 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 the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

It use to operate like a startup. Flexible with the right management. Outings can be fun, but most of the fun has been laid off or budgeted out. Red tape, metrics, favoritism, and budgeting ruined everything. I miss what it use to be.

Cons

They have let go at least 50% of IT, and another 20% have left on their own if not more within the last year. The good old boy club is very strong, was told there's no where to move up. Years in a row never having any actual achievable goals to show accountability for promotion. They are running out of technical knowledge and the only one's who are staying are those who've been there for a long time, only. Even some of those are getting laid off unexpectedly. Having connections outside of work seems to matter more than skill or contributions wether that's code or hours spent. Be wary of applying here, they are running on a skeletion crew on just about every team, this was not the case a year ago. What's left is not the biggest contributors or most impactful team members. Once the CTO (Greg) left, it all started a shift, a little over a year ago. No sense of ownership on any of the teams, while every team is so fragmented. One could be implimenting something affecting the whole company and get laid the same day.
