Automotive Sales Associate

WANTED: Automotive Sales Professional (Product Specialist)

Location: Roselle, IL | Dealership: Dick Wickstrom Chevrolet | Type: Full-Time

Are You Tired of the "Burn and Churn" Dealership Culture?

Most dealerships treat their sales floor like a revolving door—long hours, high stress, cutthroat competition, and management that only sees you as a number on a whiteboard.

At Dick Wickstrom Chevrolet, we do things differently.

We know that happy employees lead to happier customers. We actively champion work-life balance and offer workday flexibility because we know your family comes first. If you are a highly motivated professional with a background in customer service, retail, or hospitality, we want to talk to you. You don't need automotive experience—we will train you to master your craft, build lasting relationships, and grow with a family-owned dealership that has been doing it right since 1963.

The Wickstrom Difference

Before we ask what you can do for us, here is what we do for you:

• Real Work-Life Balance: Flexibility during the workday to keep your family first.

• A Winning Culture: Monthly employee recognition, annual off-site team-building events, and a close-knit, supportive environment.

• Growth & Mentorship: A robust Peer Learning Program, comprehensive product training, certification opportunities, and a strict "promote from within" philosophy.

• Top-Tier Compensation: Competitive performance-based earning potential that rewards your hard work and dedication. Contact us for details on our exciting pay plan.

• Comprehensive Benefits: Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance, 401(k) with company match, paid vacation time, and supplemental insurance options.
