We strive to push internal promotion. It is our goal to help our employees move up in our industry.

Performance reviews are important to us. Not only does it talk about what this individual excels at, it also shows the improvements we would like to see. Growth with individual goals is huge. It gives us an opportunity to see where our employees at not only physically but mentally and opens up topics of discussion for change.

E modules are what every new hire has to go through. Usually the first few days are required for you to start our training and finish through until you have completed them. They have lots of helpful information but the most important is safety. It walks you through a number of safety items that include accidents, bio hazards/chemicals, tools, etc.

I have touched on information above about internal promotion. Our master technicians do a wonderful job being there to assist and help with any questions or concerns our younger technicians may have. Whether it's answering a simple question or assisting in a job they have been great mentors throughout our shop.

We not only participate in many charities throughout our community, but we also have started something called "pitching in" which gives back to our charity of choice based off our employees interests. Lum's then matches the same amount the employees have raised.

We do, we have ties with our local MERTS as well as the school down the street from us has an automotive program we get involved in.

In five years I see us utilizing our space and time better. Our express team will be moving to a separate shop area that we are in the process of revamping, which then opens up our space for more master technicians.

We do have an application form. You can access it through Lumsautocenter.com (contact us-careers) or we have physical applications an applicant can obtain in person.

We typically do. We will give the applicant a call and see if this is something they are wanting to come interview for before wasting not only our time but theirs.

We start with getting to know the individual and why they chose us to apply for. We ask questions to receive knowledge of their interests in the job and if this would be a good fit for them. We usually end the conversation with questions for us and information they believe we didn't go over to obtain better knowledge of the job they could be accepting.

Background checks and drug screening are both performed before a job is offered and accepted.

Our skill assessment is asked during the application. It just asks basic skills that this individual has.

Up to 1-2 weeks. We wait until we have both the drug and background check back.

3-4 weeks max, with having a new job posted we typically leave it open a few days for applicants.
