Pros

Company car and great benefits depending on your position. Free lunch on occasion however, most of the time the meals are a ploy by management to pick your brain and somewhat interact with you if you are the little guy.

Cons

Management is very emotional and bias based on favoritism. Very few African Americans will be satisfied or accomplish their career goals with this company. If you are a female in this already male dominated field with an armor of degrees and experience. You can forget trying to change this companies mindset because you will hit every known obstacle prohibiting from being successful.

Pros

I made lasting friendships with co workers

Cons

Ran like high school popularity contest... You only get anywhere if you win popularity with management ... Seen too many unqualified people move up in my 6 years there and many qualified people given false promises toward false careers... Very Sad... Not even sure Ray Fidel has a clue what's happening ... When I started there he would come into the building and talk to the employees and seek out employees that were there from the start... The last couple years he wasn't around ... Management went down hill... The people that have been with Ray 15 20 years are afraid to speak up... Very sad... DriveTime lost its vibrancy and family feeling... Left in 2014 couldn't take the politics anymore...

Pros

Most of the people are honest, hard worker and caring people.

Cons

Immature sr. leadership in SE, lack of modern processes, antiquated, untrained, and uninspiring out of touch managers (not leaders), leadership insecurity caused by their current financial situation. Due to this, employees feel "forced" to work harder due to unrealistic performance expectations, which is BS. Carvana financial debacle is impacting DriveTime; however, company leaders will deny this fact.
