We're sorry to see you don't recommend us as an employer. Please feel free to let us know how else we can improve our business by calling our Speak Up line or speaking directly with your manager. DriveTime moved away from the traditional car dealership model of employing commission-only Sales Advisors to primarily college educated, customer service focused, salaried employees. We believe this model provides a better experience for our customer and provides a greater career opportunity for all of our Sales Advisors.

Pros

Learning the basics of sales The opportunity to meet types of people and learning how to approach each "customer type" Learned a lot about different vehicles Learned a lot about the financing side of car sales

Cons

Questionable tactics to get people into cars Present certain perks as options but will not allow the customer to decline the optional products Office culture was biased No employee handbook from corporate Employees who are not "manageable" are able to break the rules with little-to no consequence No formal training, especially when it came to cold calling. I had to learn on my own.
