Pros

As you move up into the Senior Sales Advisor roll and above, you get to use the cars as your driver. Competitive pay.

Cons

There is little work to life balance. Drivetime does a lot of things that do not make sense. DT has recently changed their hiring requirements. The employees no longer need to have a degree to work there. The newer employees that are hired were very unprofessional, many couldn't even annunciate words properly. In my opinion, DT focus isn't in customer service and professionalism anymore...

Thanks for leaving you review and sad to see you have a negative outlook on the company. We made the decision to begin hiring a limited amount of non-degreed Sales Advisors as we simply couldn't keep up with our growth and hire enough people with college degrees. Trust in us that we tried everything we could before lifting that requirement. DriveTime will always have a customer-first approach, and having the right people in our dealerships is certainly a large part of that.

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.
