You mentioned dealership and parts...
The BMW dealership is/was looking for a parts person last week. I know we have some new guys delivering stuff to the collision shop so there were some driver positions filled, but I'm positive there was at least 1 part counter position open. Only thing is its in Central PA (Mechanicsburg) and you mentioned you don't plan on moving.
You also mentioned receptionist... they have "Customer Care Representative" listed on all the
http://www.sunmotorcars.com websites. Benefits package for all Sun Motor Cars full-time positions include: health, dental, vision, life & disability insurance, matching 401(k) plan.
Customer Care Representative: We are currently accepting applications for a customer care rep with strong phone skills to work in our Business Development Center. Responsibilities include receiving inbound and making outbound calls. Previous call center experience desired. We offer competitive pay and benefits package.
I've only been working for the Collision Center for 2 months now. (owned by the Mercedes Dealer and BMW, Audi, and Porsche sublet out to us since its "Sun Motor Cars" as a whole). Cant wait for my 90 days to be over for benefits to start and my review and/or raise.
The new Porsche/Audi building should start being built here within a few months and has a projected schedule to open around May 2009 so if you decide to move around this area, you can always check back.
I heard something the other day that at the BMW building, if you work for them, you can lease most of the cars for under $200 a month if that's something you're into. I not sure if that's something you are into but I haven't bothered checking into what all is involved with something like that as benefits start after 90 days and I "technically" work for the Mercedes shop. I'm not sure if its a year or 2 year lease or if you can do a monthly thing. I know they have cars that get traded in and you pay the trade-in price + $500 if its going to auction or +$1000 if its going on our lot.
