Is there anything else you’d like to mention about career development and community?

We recognize that team members may sometimes feel hesitant to voice their concerns, especially if they worry that doing so could cause conflict or tension with their managers. To help address this, we've developed a program called Team Trust. Each department in our dealership has a designated Team Trust representative. This person serves as a confidential point of contact who other team members can voice their concerns to. Team members can reach out to their representatives to share their concerns, knowing that their feedback will be kept confidential. The representative then brings these concerns to the attention of our CEO and Founder, who works with them to resolve any issues or identify areas of opportunity. By offering this confidential feedback program, we've been able to create an environment where team members feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and ideas without fear of negative consequences. Thanks to input from our team, we've been able to increase team satisfaction through improvements in technology and processes.

What do your in-person interviews entail?

Our goal is to ensure you have the skillset and attitude needed to provide our customers with exceptional care.
