Pros

AMAZING new office compared to the Phoenix one we were in, really is very beautiful. Cafeteria with snacks that are inexpensive and worth it when hungry. Young environment. Laid back dress code. Employees for the most part seem to really love it. Great amount of starting vacation days. Happy Hours. It is made to seem like a very exciting place to work at first....

Cons

Working at DriveTime feels no different than attending high school all over again. EXTREMELY clicky and catty. People are talking about each other behind each others backs constantly, on my first day I noticed some of my co-workers complaining about others as soon as they walked away... does not leave a nice impression. What were they saying behind my back once I walked away? No training, not even to understand the basics needed to succeed in your role/department. Management for the most part, in my experience, is rude and it is their way or the highway. If you do not feel comfortable to suck up to managers and make it seem like you are busy even when you are not - you are outta there. They will try move you into other departments and expect you to take very dramatic pay cuts as if it is nothing and money grows on trees once you get home.

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.
