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.

Great Culture and Work Environment

Pros

DriveTime's culture is something I've never experienced with any other company. It starts with the CEO. He truly has an open door policy, and is overall very approachable. It's a very collaborative work environment. There are many perks to the job!

Cons

The home office is very nice and open, but can be a bit distracting and hard to concentrate at times because of the open style of seating.

Ray is great, isn't he? We like to say we have a "no door" policy since no one has an office! Try the "bear den" in home office or heading out to one of the collaboration areas away from the busy spots when you really need to grind out some work! Thanks for the review.

Pros

This is a tough business to begin with- credit for relatively high risk people. The corporate office could be a fun place to work but the dealerships were volume driven. A lot of pressure. Benefits were decent.

Cons

A very pressured sales environment.
