Pros

Okay pay as a Sales Advisor, room for advancement into management with great pay, it was nice to drive different model vehicles, nice vehicle discounts, laid-back work environment.

Cons

Not enough hands on deck for the work that is required from the Sales Advisors. There's a lot of hurry up and wait your clients may end up waiting 30 minutes to an hour to be interviewed or contracted by a manager or Senior SA. This is not the place for people who want to have a life outside of DriveTime. Absolutely no work life/balance. You can never make plans after work because the time you will leave is typically up in the air. You are not compensated for overtime because you are on a base salary plus bonus and "commission". The potential to make good money is there but you need to maintain a watchful eye on ALL dealership sales as managers who do not pay attention to DETAIL do not ensure you are properly compensated for your hard work. 11 or 12 hour shifts are the norm at certain times of the year (not only tax season). Always bring lunch with you because you may only have a 10-15 minute break for the day. There were times when unnecessary transportation was being offered to potential customers. Having to go above and beyond to get that sale. Depending on who the manager is, there is confusion about lunch breaks being 30 minutes or an hour. FAVORTISM!

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.
