Pros

The benefits (especially if you are fit and qualify for Tier 1, like I did, receiving the highest discount). The exposure to title work, underwriting, inventory management, sales, interfacing with other departments, etc ... it is invaluable and you will be a stronger person if you can handle the rings of fire you must jump through working for Drive Time.

Cons

1) You work extremely long hours with no compensation for it. 2) The dealerships are short-staffed and you have to work and will often pull 12+hours. 3) You are expected to do too much ... at the end of the day, the market managers will always be on the sales side. If you are overwhelmed and express this after you realize you are not getting the help that was promised, they will do what they can to make like difficult by creating a hostile working environment. 4) No support or feedback from upper-management, including HR. No one is reachable by phone. You will talk to voice mail more than upper management. 5) You have too many tasks to the point you are spread thin. 6) Belling on a daily (8:00 until ...) 7) No classroom training; everything is a webinar on PowerPoint. 8) Upper management is not trying to help you get to where you need to be if it means working in their department(s).

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.
