Best Dealerships to Work For

General manager: Diana Kennedy

Dealership group: Price Simms Family Dealerships

Full-time employees: 39

Kennedy on how employment practices could change with the industry shift to electric vehicles: “Volvo has increased training on hybrid and electric vehicles for all staff. The shift to electric vehicles has made it easier to find qualified applicants that do not necessarily have automotive experience.”

Kennedy on improving employee retention: “We have an impressive retention rate simply because our employees agree that we are the best dealership to work for. We have a great employee purchase program, additional subsidy for health and dental benefits, free public transportation cards, monthly birthday celebrations, Hot Wheels Race Day, celebration dinners, monthly barbecue lunches, Halloween costume party, Thanksgiving feast and an annual family Christmas party with gifts for everyone.”
