Jim Ellis Automotive Receives Top Workplaces Award

Jim Ellis Automotive Group is thrilled to have been selected as a 2022 Top Workplace by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Top Workplaces award recognizes the elite workplaces in the Metro-Atlanta area, with results being based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage, LLC.

The workplace survey received and completed by employees was anonymous and measured 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization: alignment, execution, and connection, to name a few. Employees had the opportunity to provide rankings on various items and also to provide additional written feedback/review of various company benefit offerings and employment satisfaction areas. Results came back landing Jim Ellis Automotive in a position of being a top workplace in Atlanta. 
 

For over 50 years now, Jim Ellis Automotive Group has offered employment to Atlantans, providing numerous opportunities for career growth within the company. Additional employee benefits include employee discounts on products, services, and vehicle purchases; a five-day work week; closed on Sundays; employer-paid holidays and more. Additionally, employees often receive giveaways to local events and attractions. Being an employee at Jim Ellis also offers the opportunity to attend various social gatherings hosted by the company. Some of the most recent events included Employee Holiday Luncheons, Jim Ellis Ford Sandy Springs Grand Opening, Porsche Atlanta Perimeter Women’s Empowerment Event, Jim Ellis Charity Golf Tournament, and the Jim Ellis 50-Year Celebration Luncheons.
 

Working at Jim Ellis opens the door for opportunities to be closely connected with owners and upper management. The goal is to create personal relationships with each Jim Ellis employee. During the annual employee luncheons mentioned above, the Ellis family takes the time to visit each dealership, share a meal with employees at the dealership, and recognizes employees that have reached specific years of service milestones. Additionally, the Ellis family spends time acknowledging that the success of the company is largely due to the hard work and dedication of the employees. 

 

The family-like atmosphere goes beyond just the Ellis family themselves. Jim Ellis Automotive Group has a few employees that were recently recognized for being with the company since it began in 1971. There are employees/previous employees that have second and/or third generation family members that now work for Jim Ellis. It is not uncommon to find people within the company that may be related to someone else within.
