Pros

Let me think....I’ll get back to you on that one! It’s not very many pros! The organizational culture is so toxic that it has eroded anything positive!

Cons

This is a warning to any serious sales professional thinking about joining this company, please don’t! During this review I will use the words “allegedly” and “suspected” to save myself from any legal ramifications. This company is allegedly rigged up for the most senior advisors to sale the most vehicles. It has been suspected that sales managers have played favoritism with certain advisors by giving them the best leads. DriveTime entire sales process is nostalgic compared to its competitors. This company make its advisors work the whole deal from start to finish. It is a major distraction to worry about things that’s unrelated to selling vehicles. Also, since this company does not have a competitive advantage, they make the associates call a minimum of 50 customers a day. The sales managers are mere hall monitors that’s over paid! In lieu of developing DriveTime’s sales advisors, they send useless emails all day pressuring them to hit metrics. The sales advisors as well as managers have allegedly been robbing the owner of this company blind for years. Multiple advisors and managers are currently under investigation for fudging numbers and assisting customers with submitting fraudulent documents. This company will remain stagnant and will not grow as long as it have the “bad apples” there. To any potential true sales professional thinking about taking a job with this company, you have been warned!

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.
