Pros

Training was designed for the way I learn best. My trainer specifically included tasks/activities that would help me learn quickly (i.e. role playing or allowing me to physically do things to learn better! The company overall is fantastic to work for, they are constantly rewarding us for company successes (i.e. being able to wear jeans on the weekends, company paid-for Holiday party, and occasional company paid-for dinners)! My co-workers & managers are all energetic, excited to come to work, and fun to be around; which creates a great work environment! Overall I truly enjoy working for DriveTime and would refer my friends & family to purchase vehicles here or to work here!

Cons

It is sometimes difficult to balance work and personal life. We are given our schedule a month at a time which is helpful; however shift end times are approximates (i.e. - if a customer walks in 10 minutes before you are off and you are the only one to assist them, you are expected stay after your shift end time). When you do not have a definite end time to your work day, it makes balancing your personal life difficult. In order to move up it seems like more hours have to worked or "put-in;" however sometimes the company needs to better understand that every employee has a personal life.

Pros

It use to operate like a startup. Flexible with the right management. Outings can be fun, but most of the fun has been laid off or budgeted out. Red tape, metrics, favoritism, and budgeting ruined everything. I miss what it use to be.

Cons

They have let go at least 50% of IT, and another 20% have left on their own if not more within the last year. The good old boy club is very strong, was told there's no where to move up. Years in a row never having any actual achievable goals to show accountability for promotion. They are running out of technical knowledge and the only one's who are staying are those who've been there for a long time, only. Even some of those are getting laid off unexpectedly. Having connections outside of work seems to matter more than skill or contributions wether that's code or hours spent. Be wary of applying here, they are running on a skeletion crew on just about every team, this was not the case a year ago. What's left is not the biggest contributors or most impactful team members. Once the CTO (Greg) left, it all started a shift, a little over a year ago. No sense of ownership on any of the teams, while every team is so fragmented. One could be implimenting something affecting the whole company and get laid the same day.
