Pros

While working at DriveTime I gained some great experience that will carry over into other work environments. I worked in an office environment that involved various aspects of dealership operations from payments to titling. Therefore, all of the different aspects will help me in any future work environment from reception to title clerk at the DMV. DriveTime was very good about telling employees about what's going on at other dealerships and promotions. For the most part everyone got along quite well and were like a family. However, as with any office environment there's always a fair share of drama.

Cons

Managerial staff at the location I worked at did not provide regular feedback on performance. When it came time for my first 6-month review to my final year, I heard very little on my performance and where I stood. If you are the type of employee who needs recognition and to know you are performing adequately than this particular location is not for you. However, I cannot speak for other locations and management who may compliment or give constructive criticism regularly. This is just from my personal experience!

Pros

It use to operate like a startup. Flexible with the right management. Outings can be fun, but most of the fun has been laid off or budgeted out. Red tape, metrics, favoritism, and budgeting ruined everything. I miss what it use to be.

Cons

They have let go at least 50% of IT, and another 20% have left on their own if not more within the last year. The good old boy club is very strong, was told there's no where to move up. Years in a row never having any actual achievable goals to show accountability for promotion. They are running out of technical knowledge and the only one's who are staying are those who've been there for a long time, only. Even some of those are getting laid off unexpectedly. Having connections outside of work seems to matter more than skill or contributions wether that's code or hours spent. Be wary of applying here, they are running on a skeletion crew on just about every team, this was not the case a year ago. What's left is not the biggest contributors or most impactful team members. Once the CTO (Greg) left, it all started a shift, a little over a year ago. No sense of ownership on any of the teams, while every team is so fragmented. One could be implimenting something affecting the whole company and get laid the same day.
