CHICAGO -- Jaguar Plano, a Texas auto dealership that backs up its "help the client" mantra by giving employees $50 gasoline cards for doing the right thing, has won the top ranking in the first Automotive News' list of the "100 Best Dealerships To Work For."
The honor was announced Wednesday night at an event at the Ritz Carlton in Chicago. The 100 dealerships were selected by the Best Companies Group, which screened extensive surveys filled out by U.S. and Canadian stores that applied for the distinction.
"It's important to take care of your people because they're the ones who get the job done every day," says Kenneth Schnitzer, chairman of Jaguar Plano parent Park Place Dealerships, a 16-store chain of luxury franchises in Texas and Nevada. "They interface with the clients; they repair the cars."
