Pros

Money is easy for a confident sales person. The company is very innovative with aquiring new technologies and trying to find new ways of thinking.

Cons

All managers play favorites for lead assignments and splitting commissions when 2 advisors are on deals when convenient or mood. Senior advisors are hired and promoted with NO management or people supervisory experience. Tough skill needed to deal with derogatory remarked when a manager looses their temper or young sales person becomes an HR nightmare. I can't get anyone from HR to help resolve employee concerns. Store management even regionally refuse contact outside of retail.

They treat their employees pretty well. Very modern work conditions, team builders, awesome health benefits, awesome benefits in general.

Cons

HR is non existing, management encourage back stabbing in their teams, when you have a bull's eye on your back there is nothing to protect you...

Pros

You have a voice regardless of the position you hold in the organization. Work hard, prove yourself, and you will advance. The Navy has a " Top Gun", for the best of the best fighter pilots to make it there you simply have to be the best of the best. DriveTime is the "Top Gun" of the used car industry. A quality used car, a great customer experience, and unique collection practice that treats the subprime customer with respect through the entire process that is duplicated at their 100 or more facilities. The best medical coverages, high paying salaries, 401K, expense accounts, paid trips, cash giveaways, these folks reward hard work, simple as that! DriveTime will be what you make it! Looking for just a job to pay the bills this is not the place for you. Looking for a career, an opportunity, this is the place for you. I seen this company sail straight through one of the worst times for the auto industry 2004, 2005, 2006 and adapting to this ever so changing market. They still remain the largest privately owned used car company in the US. A great opportunity that comes with proven stability and you will always be treated with respect.

Cons

It's the car business so the hours can be long at times. Still Top Gun: Sunday's off, one guaranteed day off a week, and about three weeks paid time off for the tenured employee. The Con is 50 hours plus at times. Again car business outside of DriveTime is generally every other weekend, a scheduled 50-70 hour work week, and a week a year paid time off.
