Pros

I learned a lot at DriveTime, I can say with confidence that I had solid 8+ successful years at this Company! I got really comfortable receiving and delivering feedback (both, constructive and positive) in a nutshell: my management skills got only stronger at DT, this company allowed me to develop myself in a personal and professional way, and I was also able to develop others (which is the best reward... "your legacy"!!) more importantly: DriveTime was good to me and I was good to DriveTime. Sr. Management- great people! very personable and engaged. I learned something from every single one of them, specially from my Director, he always took the time to have meaningful conversations with his GM's and I was fortunate to belong to his group! As a Manager you will get a driver (you can borrow a company car and rotate every 2-3 days... any year/maker/model!!) Great health benefits and 401K!!!

Cons

Absolutely no work-life balance! If you want to succeed at this company, there's no other way than putting EXTRA of your time! To maximize payroll some of the stores are understaffed, this impacts not only customer experience, but it also affects every single Team Member! Example: salary employees end up working 10+ hour shifts consistently. Training structure is much needed: the guides/material available are outdated, as a Manager your training skills must be "on point" to be able to compensate the lack of updated material.

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.
