The environment and the people. The open desk environment speaks volumes to the type of environment DriveTime creates. Open communication in any direction is encouraged and embraced. I think that plays a factor in the type of people that work here as well, very informal, approachable, and collectively try to make this a great place to work.
I am very active. I like to play a lot of team sports and I do so with a lot of the people I work with here. I play basketball, football, softball, kickball and any other activity I can take part in. I also like to travel when I get the chance. Whether it’s a wedding or a concert that gets me out of the state, I like to take those opportunities to explore new areas.
I love coming into work every day because of the amazing people here. I honestly feel like I work with a huge group of friends, because I do! We get work done while having a great time. The culture here allows for everyone to feel important. Management has gone above and beyond to assist in my career and personal development. Drive Time invests a lot in their people and provides plenty of opportunity to grow and continually increase your professional skills.
I am a family man through and through. With a wife and three kids, you can find me anywhere from the zoo to the jungle gym any day of the week. We love being outside finding new things to do. I love to camp, swim, hike, bike, run and just play. Now I get to show my little ones all the amazing things this world has to offer and nothing gives me more joy then seeing them excited to discover new adventures.
What I like most about working at DriveTime is the Awesome PEOPLE! Within my two year timeframe, I was selected as an Accelerated Management Program (AMP) candidate and appointed to GM at multiple dealerships, to now focusing my managerial knowledge as a Reconditioning Manager for the Inspection Center. I've had the opportunity to work with many exciting people who truly care about your career path and genuine success. Every day is filled with challenging tasks, but the dynamic work environment cultivates team work throughout all departments and creates a passion to give your best in exceeding both individual/team goals. Great People! Fun Environment! & Endless Opportunities!
Outside of work I enjoy playing golf. Being able to challenge myself on the green, while enjoying the beautiful weather and scenery makes the game of golf fun and relaxing. With friends, family, or co-workers, this can make for a fun competitive experience. Just like at work, you have to have the focus, drive and the self determination to want to do your best, but by practicing routinely helps polish and shape your abilities to conquer even the toughest of obstacles.
I’ve worked at DriveTime for the past 8 years and enjoy the new challenges and situations that present themselves every day. It’s rare that you get into a career where you are given the opportunity to meet so many different people from so many walks of life. Not only am I in a career where I can have continued growth, but I get to help change lives each and every day.
Outside of work, I’m a huge Atlanta Falcons fan. I’ve been a season ticket holder for the past 6 years so I try and make it to as many games as possible. I also enjoy traveling the world and spending time with friends and family.
I love the family atmosphere in our department. The marketing department is always playing pranks on each other, going out to lunch together and making the work environment a fun place to be every day. Everyone is also extremely supportive and easy to approach with questions. I came into this internship with no previous marketing experience, and every member of the team has constantly helped me learn new skills.
I am currently a junior at Arizona State University in the W.P. Carey School of Business. Some of my hobbies include skiing and traveling with my friends. I also have a passion for music. Going to concerts and discovering new artists is one of my favorite things to do. I feel that music is an awesome way to bring thousands of people together from different backgrounds and cultures.
What do you like most about working at DriveTime? The relationships I have built with both my coworkers and our employees. We are a very collaborative environment and I always feel that I can go to anyone with a question. There is a great work-life balance, and I truly believe that the company cares about my well-being.
What do you like to do outside of work? I love to spend time outside, and I try to hike and run as often as possible. Spending time with family and friends is my favorite thing to do.
If you truly love what you do every day, then your "job" is not a job ! Having a career with DriveTime is the most rewarding and fulfilling opportunity I have ever had. Being able to work amongst co-workers and leaders who are there to help make sure you are succeeding on a daily basis is the most rewarding aspect of my job. The culture at DriveTime is unlike any other business and it makes you truly appreciate being able to work for such an amazing company with outstanding leaders who are there to get you where you want to be!
Outside of work, I tend to keep busy with quite a few activities. I love to go to flea markets on weekends, where I find and then refurbish old furniture! I also love to golf as it’s something I've been doing since I was little. Going out and enjoying our boat is another fun activity I do. Being from the Midwest originally, I enjoy getting out and exploring what Arizona lakes have to offer!
I like the diversity of our culture at DriveTime. Although we share a common goal to service our customers, we find joy in the challenges of interacting interdepartmentally and constantly learning how our efforts effect each other's results!
In my free time I love traveling to exotic places, cycling, hiking, socializing, playing sports, watching sports, & eating exotic foods.
I like the career path and coaching I have received while with DriveTime. DriveTime has given me the chance to grow and develop as a leader. Also, the culture of learning and feedback exists at every level of the company so anyone who is looking for a career path can be successful.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family. Golfing, hiking and just being outside as much as possible are just a few of the things we like to do together.
For me, the ability to move into a wide range of areas within the company is the most significant benefit of working at DriveTime. I started as an intern working in our marketing department and then moved into retail when I became a full time employee. Since then it seems that every year or two I move into a different area of the business. Retail operations to IT, our call center, and now back in marketing. This was a perfect place for me since I didn’t have my mind set on what I wanted to do for a career.
Outside of work, I like great food, classic cars, golfing and the occasional kayak trip. But mostly, I’m relaxing at home watching a movie with my wife and dog.
This is the most collaborative and fluid environment I’ve ever worked in. DriveTime is always evolving its applications and systems which gives me an opportunity to evolve with it. I like that every day is different and that our leadership has my back and listens to what I have to say. I go home knowing that I’ve accomplished great things and that what I do makes a difference. I get to be part of a huge family that knows how to have a blast and get things done.
When I’m not working I am either in the studio writing and recording music or studying Japanese. Music is where I get to celebrate my love for videogames, languages, and pop culture all at once. Being on stage is exhilarating and it’s fun to connect with people who appreciate my work. I’ve toured around the country and have also recorded television/radio ad spots for McDonalds.
“Businesses often forget about the culture, and ultimately suffer for it.” –Tony Hsieh This is not the case for DriveTime, they have embodied a culture that allows growth for the company as well as the individual. All employees are given access to the resources they need to succeed. With an open door atmosphere, decisions are made by a group approach in which everyone’s opinions are valued.
Outside of work I like to remain active with my social circles, in the gym, play video games and spend time with family. The more time spent out in the Arizona sun hiking or in the pool, the better.
I enjoy the people at DriveTime most of all.
Oustide of work I spend time with the family, Fishing, Biking and Golfing.
I love the fact that I am able to provide relief and a solution for consumers who need a vehicle. There is nothing like putting a smile on someone's face by providing reliable transportation for their families. It is rewarding to be able to help people while having a great time doing it!
When I am not working I enjoy quality time with my family, relaxing at the beach, hitting the gym and traveling.
DriveTime emphasizes on transparency and dedication. The individuals that I work with on a daily basis make the job even more enjoyable with the amount of passion and intellectual ability they bring into the office every day. Everyone is always willing to help and the Liberty Home Office is beautiful. Having the ability to impact individuals on a mass scale is amazing and working for DriveTime is everything you could wish for and more!
When I am not working I enjoy playing basketball, snowboarding, hiking and lifting. Also, I love modeling, dancing, trying out new restaurants and helping others. My goal is to impact as many people in my life as possible and be the best version of myself.
