Thank you for sharing your experience as a Customer Experience Guide. We strive to create a culture where team members feel supported, valued, and fairly compensated, so we're glad to hear the culture, pay, and benefits have made a positive impact on your experience. The DriveTime Family of Brands is committed to supporting work-life balance. One way we do this is through a paid time off plan that grows with your tenure, so the longer you’re with us, the more opportunity you have to recharge. Plus, our dealerships are closed on Sundays, giving our Customer Experience Guides a guaranteed weekend day to rest, in addition to a day off during the week. Thanks again for your review, we're delighted to have you as a part of our DriveTime family, and we wish you continued success and fulfillment in your role.

Good Benefits, Toxic Management - A Drive for change.

Customer experience guide

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Affordable Benefits – The benefits package is reasonably priced, which is a plus for employees. Training – The initial training program is thorough and helps prepare you for the role.

Cons

Extreme Micromanagement – Every move is scrutinized, leaving little room for autonomy or trust. Ineffective Coaching & Nonexistent Feedback – Coaching opportunities feel more like criticism without constructive guidance. Feedback is rare and inconsistent, making growth difficult. Unpredictable One on Ones – Scheduled check-ins are sporadic, leaving employees in the dark about performance expectations. Moving Goalposts – Targets and expectations shift constantly, making it hard to succeed or feel accomplished. Unstable Management Behavior – GMs and AGMs are inconsistent in their leadership—mood swings and unpredictable reactions create a stressful environment. Entrenched, Stubborn Leadership – Some long-tenured managers act entitled and resistant to change, making collaboration frustrating
