Thank you for sharing your experience. At DriveTime, we are proud supporters of hiring from within so we do push our employees to always continue learning - we're glad to hear that was consistent with your experience. Part of our core values is treated each and every person with the same level of respect and we are sorry to hear you did not experience that. We do not tolerate any sort of favoritism, especially from management, and encourage current employees to take up those sort of issues with our talent support team. We appreciate your feedback and wish you success in your next role.

Thank you for sharing your experience as a Customer Experience Guide of more than 6 years. We appreciate the time and dedication you put into our company and our customers. We're happy to hear that you see the value we put into developing our employees so they can continue learning and growing. In fact, we have a management course for our employees who are interested in leadership roles so our emerging leaders can learn the DriveTime way of servant leadership before taking on a manager role. Some customers that purchase from DriveTime may not have had the option to buy elsewhere. We work to find a way to get customers into a vehicle that will help improve their lives. During the sales and contracting process, we provide each customer with the Federal Truth in Lending Disclosure which includes the APR, finance charge, amount financed, total amount expected to be paid throughout the loan, and the total sales price. Also, our customers are welcome to utilize third-party financing if they are not satisfied with the financing options offered through Bridgecrest, our finance partner. Unfortunately, we are unable to change your experience while working with us, but we hope this insight and detail helps shape and improve your outlook of our business.

Pros

The people you work with are great and processes aren't documented so you can create and re-vamp exisiting processes

Cons

HR cares more about happy hours rather than boosting employee retention with pay that is at market. Handled COVID situation poorly at operational and corporate buldings. Senior Management claims to promote within, promises promotions, and never follows through.

Thank you for taking the opportunity to leave a candid review. It is unfortunate to hear that after your time of 6 years with us that your experience has been "so-so" and hope there is an opportunity to make it much better! The entire Employee Experience group cares whole heartedly about our employee's safety and retention. Part of retaining employees, is having a positive and boosted morale, which comes with the occasional and optional happy hour. We continue to follow state and federal guidelines in terms of COVID to best provide and protect our employees as their health and safety is absolutely important. Your feedback is important to us, and we would like to work together to learn more. We encourage you to reach out to our Talent Support team to share your feedback, thoughts, and suggestions in ways we can continue to improve.
