Vantaggi

Job security. There are little to no repercussions to bad behaviors.

Svantaggi

Pay is almost worst in industry for auto sales. 42-45k on new 2017 pay plan. Change commission structure every year so you get paid even less. This is the 323rd pay cut in a row. Work every Saturday unless PTO is used. Favorites in lead distribution. No team culture with new pay plan. You will be embarrassed to sell some of these cars. You will be paid ZERO dollars for the first SIX cars you sell a month. That's right, ZERO.

DriveTime's culture encourages a low-pressure retail environment to ensure our Sales Advisors are aiding our customers in the best possible ways. A Sales Advisor's compensation structure for 2017 equates to 70% salary-based and 30% commission-based, which we believe provides more stability for our Sales Advisors and even more of an uncapped earning potential. The actual, average first-year earning potential for a Sales Advisor in 2016 was just north of $51,000 - which we believe is a fair wage for our retail staff. Coupled with our new flex schedules and telecommuting benefits, we truly think DriveTime is the industry leader when it comes to car salesmen positions and hope you do too. I encourage you to reach out to your GM or call the Speak Up line to discuss how we can better improve your financial outlook at DriveTime.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
