    Heavy Work/Life Balance

    Feb 28, 2023 - Staff Accountant in Tempe, AZ
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Pros: • They have a work hard, play hard culture. Great work/life balance structure. • Management is typically flexible. • Great office layout (gym, kitchen with free coffee, refrigerators and shelves full of snacks & food for purchase) • Good benefits (tuition reimbursement, 401k matching, HSA, medical, dental, & more). Medical insurance can be free after fulfilling 2 simple requirements. • The Accounting department has the most friendly Chief Accounting Officer (CAO) you will ever meet.

    Cons

    As for cons, I would say the biggest con is their salary offers across the board.

    DriveTime Automotive Group Response

    Thank you for sharing your experience as a Customer Experience Guide. We're happy to hear you are enjoying our perks and benefits package. As a company, we believe in carpooling to a shared destination - it's one of our core values. Because of this, we switched to a team-based commission to provide a pressure-free sales experience for our customers and a non-competitive sales environment for our employees. We want our employees to work together as a team, not against each other. This is also why we provide a base salary. Thank you for sharing your experience, we wish you continued success in your role!

    Horrible experience.

    Jan 10, 2023 - Team Leader SE in Tempe, AZ
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    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.

    DriveTime Automotive Group Response

    Thank you for sharing your perspective as a Customer Experience Guide. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the base salary we set for CEGs! This helps take the pressure off making a sale and ensures that you can focus on doing what you do best - assisting our customers. Due to the nature of our business, tax season can potentially bring on longer days to assist customers through their journey of purchasing a vehicle. During this time, employees still get Sundays off plus an additional day off during week. While we may have parted ways, we wish you the best in your next role.
