Pros

Average Pay. If you work hard, avoid the office politics, mind your own buisness and work hard you can do ok. Do your job and go home.

Cons

It's kind of like being in high school. Be careful. Very clicky. Some nepotism, gossiping, drama, backstabbing, bearing of false witnesses among some of the employees. If you rub managers the wrong way by speaking up for yourself or complain your Done. Can be retaliatory. Long tenure, highly paid employees tend to be "managed out". The company was up for sale or merger recently. Hiring Temps. High turnover in some departments.

We are very concerned about your comments and would like the opportunity to discuss them with you. Even as a former employee, your input is critical to our continued growth and success. Please reach out to our Speak Up line (it's anonymous) so we can discuss your comments in detail. To clarify a few points, DriveTime has not be involved in merger or acquisition deal (DriveTime being acquired by another company) for many years. We have made our share of acquisitions and have re-structured parts of our company, which is what you may be referring to. We are still the same family-owned organization we have been since 2002. We also hire permanent, full-time employees in the vast majority of our positions. We've never had a policy of hiring "temps" in our company - at any role. We always want to hire people who are looking for a "place to stay" and not a "temporary solution." While our company leads our industry among the lowest turnover rates, we still know we have room to improve. Again, your feedback would be insightful in helping us understand what else we can do to lower our attrition.

Pros

I'm a Senior Sales Advisor. The job has many aspects to keep you involved. The company is always looking for new ways to do things, so you must be fluid. Promotions are all up to you and how fast you can pick up things. You must have a combination of customer service while being able to promote sales, and detail oriented.

Cons

The hours can be long leaving little time for the family. They give you plenty of PTO but they don't want you to take more the 5 days off at a time, with any type of combination of normal days off or PTO days.

Pros

Break room has coffee and tea for free

Cons

Management holds their employees back from being able to truly feel the growth discussed. Not enough cohesiveness between departments No direct HR department contact- how has their not been a lawsuit over this???
