Pros
-This is a decent starting spot for the entry level college grad. You receive a base salary around 30k, and most decent sales people make 42k and more... so even if you are new to sales and are a bit nervous you can still get a paycheck.... -Free lunches from time to time -I still have a few good friends from my time at DT, although none of them work there anymore....go figure.
Cons
-Very long and boring hours. They don't advertise this...but they increase your hours during "tax time" and you may work upwards of 55 hours/week, yet they still pay you for 40. Oh, and you MUST work every Saturday during tax time, no questions asked. Your shift may be 10-8:30, leaving you no time for anything before or after work. -Your off-days are scattered, you have Sunday off and then a random day throughout the week. -They promote sheep; if you have any desire to move up in this company prepare yourself for even longer hours and be ready to be at their disposal. My manager actually made less than I did, but they sell you on "in order to move up at any company, you must make sacrifices". - If you are a sales advisor and have suggestions, they usually look down on you. Prepare to be a "suck up" if you want to be promoted. -The cars are garbage. If you have a soul you WILL feel bad for some of the people you sell to. They are clearly uneducated customers and think that just because they're getting financed, they're doing great. Little do they know (what you know), that car will most likely repo since their 10/hour job can't support their $210 BIWEEKLY payment. **One more thing, beware of reviews on here coming from Drivetime Corporate. They post good reviews on here to bring the average score up**
