Pros

Drivetime is a great company that has a lot of good things going for it. The best thing would be that Drivetime allows young people out of college the opportunity to see the whole business which is hard to come by. Also, Drivetime is a fairly new company which promotes the fact that you can get exposure to unique business opportunities. Another thing is that the company has a culture that promotes innovation and thinking outside the box. Drivetime is also a rapidly growing company, not just in sub prime auto sales but in other avenues as well. Overall Drivetime is a good company that provides exposure that might take years to get somewhere else.

Cons

Drivetime, like every company does a lot a good things but lacks in others. Some of the things mentioned earlier, like Drivetime being a fairly new company, contribute to some of the flaws. Drivetime is still trying to figure things out which takes time and slows other aspects of the company. I am not here to rag on Drivetime because I think it is a good company with people who mean well but are just not there yet. The people I worked with understand why I left and the reasons I left. Just don't be the "Johnny Manziel" of the department!

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.
