About The Position

The First Voice Every New Hire Hears Will Be Yours Half of all employees say they don't know what's expected of them at work. That number drives us crazy, and we're hiring the person whose job is to fix it here. We're Huntington Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram Hyundai Genesis. Family-owned for over 75 years, Long Island's oldest Jeep dealership, and now big enough that culture doesn't take care of itself anymore. Somebody needs to own it. Here's who we think that is. You're probably working in HR at a bigger company right now, doing most of a manager's job without the manager's title. You've sat in meetings watching decisions get made two levels above you and thought, I would have handled that better. At a corporate group you might wait ten years for the seat we're offering. Here, all of it is yours from day one. And we mean all of it. When someone joins this company, you're the first person they deal with. Not their manager, not their department. You. Whether their first day feels like joining a family business or filling out forms at the DMV comes down to how you build it. You'll recruit the people who carry our name forward and build the reasons they stay. There's no HR department above you and no regional office reviewing your work. The owners sit down the hall. Bring them a better way to do something and the answer you'll get is "show me."
