Thank you for your review and we are sorry to hear you didn't have the best experience with the company. The company is constantly developing strategies to improve personal development. We have offered specialized training for all parts of the business and continue to have monthly web-based training through our Organizational Development Department.

Pros

Meeting with different customers everyday and the friendships you make at work because of the long hours you spend there.

Cons

There is no work-life balance...they frown on taking time off. If you start off as a sales advisor you will not be promoted higher than a General Manager. Upper management past GM does not take criticism well and most are not business minded..... Your pay structure will change constantly without notice

Thank you for your review. The company strongly believes in promoting from within as openings become available. In fact a majority of our current Senior Leadership started off as Sales Advisors.

Pros

Great first real job. Most people use DriveTime as a stepping stone into a real job. Every once in awhile we get free lunch?

Cons

Company is down sizing. Many people are quitting. Many people are getting fired. The 55K/yr is a lie. I'm a top salesman in my dealership and I'll be lucky to hit $45k this year. They force optional products on customers that they don't need. Look at the Google reviews. Only way a company can have that many is from the management forcing the employees to get them in every sale. Unless you had a bad experience. Then we "forget" to get a review. Also, I averaged 11 hours a day for 5 days a week in 2016. No work life balance.
