Pros

PAY! The commissions and bonuses are endless. Honestly, it's like they try to give away money to their employees. It's easy to make boo-koo bucks here. Coworkers are about the same age, company-wide, so there's lots in common with each other. The company promotes from within and will move their employees to different locations if desired, many times with relocation assistance. AMAZING BENEFITS PACKAGE! I honestly can't say enough about the great programs and benefits that DriveTime offers its employees. Free lunch a lot and a pretty nice uniform selection (although you do have to buy your own DT apparel).

Cons

Loooooong hours with no work-life balance. This sucks. You never know what time you will be leaving, even if the doors are supposed to close at a certain time. Be prepared to spend 10+ hours a day just about anytime you are scheduled to be there. Telemarketing. Be prepared for LOTS of phone work. I personally don't mind following up on appointments, confirming appointments, and responding to requests for information, but the company buys leads from third parties, so there's cold-calling and a phone "work-flow" you have to follow, even if the lead is clearly not interested. Additionally, the company doesn't care about bothering leads, either. You will be making phone calls at 9am on Saturday, as well as 8:50pm on Tuesday. You'll learn to get over feeling bad about this. Constant change of policy, procedure, and programs. The company will implement something, and turn right back around and get rid of it. Or make a zillion changes to a policy, procedure, or program, and you'll be unsure as to what it is you are actually supposed to be doing, which will lead to a lot of running to a manager for question-answering.

Pros

Break room Covered work area good lighting

Cons

Deceptive Company policy that is hard to access (Need to create a case with HR to review policies that are not easily located). Management over work with little notice for demand of Overtime. Management Typically uses google search to base their decisions instead of consulting their diagnostic team. Over demand of core job responsibilities ( Doing more than what you agreed to do upon hire). If Something was missed or not performed a certain way management will stop your production to show what you did wrong with the expectation that you will still hit production targets. Management also tends to talk down instead of a coaching approach. If you happen to go above and beyond (which is hard to do) little rewards come your way ( Things that wont come). Typical work shifts consists of maintaining a pace that is hard to achieve to always hit targets even if several roadblocks are in the way that you cant avoid. Overall working here I found it difficult to effectively communicate with management or other co-workers. * Working here I have personally experienced Sexual harassment and sexual assault, I have informed management and have heard no update on that topic other than "talked to said employee". Then Said Employee's behavior changed and found it extremely difficult to perform duties.
