Decent for time being

Pros

Money decent, good co workers, decent company... for the most part, approval processes and sales run smoothly

Cons

Over half the sales made are repossessed within first few years, before loans mature. Auto prices are all several thousand dollars above the KBB or NADA value. All loans are inflated with overpriced extra products, like a $3,500 powertrain warranty, and this GPS anti- theft detection device which is completely worthless. And customers occasionally give fake check stubs or check stubs to places they are not working at, which leads to a lot of unnecessary hassle. Dealing with the population of people with poor credit is interesting sometimes with some of these characters.

Thank you for writing a review of your experience as a Customer Experience Guide in Charlotte, NC. We aim to make the sales process easy and convenient for both the customer and the retail staff, and we are happy to hear that was your experience! DriveTime is in the business of creating opportunities and improving lives. We provide our customers the opportunity to own a vehicle and improve their credit while doing so. This requires some level of risk for the company as well. While repossessions do occasionally happen, it is the last option we resort to, as it is our goal to keep our customers in their vehicle. Thank you again for sharing your experience - we wish you the best luck!

Pros

Work was great a lot of opportunity to move up into different sections of the inspection center

It’s all about numbers. So if you lack on getting the product out management will be over you but other than that great place to work
