Pros

Job security. There are little to no repercussions to bad behaviors.

Cons

Pay is almost worst in industry for auto sales. 42-45k on new 2017 pay plan. Change commission structure every year so you get paid even less. This is the 323rd pay cut in a row. Work every Saturday unless PTO is used. Favorites in lead distribution. No team culture with new pay plan. You will be embarrassed to sell some of these cars. You will be paid ZERO dollars for the first SIX cars you sell a month. That's right, ZERO.

DriveTime's culture encourages a low-pressure retail environment to ensure our Sales Advisors are aiding our customers in the best possible ways. A Sales Advisor's compensation structure for 2017 equates to 70% salary-based and 30% commission-based, which we believe provides more stability for our Sales Advisors and even more of an uncapped earning potential. The actual, average first-year earning potential for a Sales Advisor in 2016 was just north of $51,000 - which we believe is a fair wage for our retail staff. Coupled with our new flex schedules and telecommuting benefits, we truly think DriveTime is the industry leader when it comes to car salesmen positions and hope you do too. I encourage you to reach out to your GM or call the Speak Up line to discuss how we can better improve your financial outlook at DriveTime.
