Pros

Fun job, great people at the dealerships to work with, and a pretty decent benefit package. Overall, it is a good company, and some corporate managers actually care about their employees, but they are few and far between.

Cons

Very little work life balance, especially during tax season. Expect to put in 50+ hours mid April - mid January and during tax season, mid January - mid April, you will pretty much live at the dealership. Compensation is average, but one should never divide their compensation by hours worked....You will not like the results.

First, thanks for the time you've spent at DriveTime so far and giving us your transparent feedback here. We do sincerely appreciate it. We know that our busy season puts an additional demand on our employees, especially those at the dealerships. We have been piloting flexible scheduling and work-from-home benefits in some regions and hope that makes a difference in our employee's work and life balance. Please feel free to discuss these obstacles with your GM or call our Speak Up line to provide feedback, we'd love to hear how we can continue to improve.

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.
