How is Dealer Tire different from other places you've worked?

The balance between being a family-owned company that is really personal and cares about people while still having the professionalism of a medium to large company. That to me is unique.

The word "grit" is meaningful here. What does it mean to you?

Grit is about being down to earth. Grit is about being scrappy and about going after things. Grit is not stopping where the normal person would stop; pushing beyond to focus on what's best for the company.

What do you value most about the people you work with at Dealer Tire?

Seeing the core value of Playing to Win every day in people. When you come to work here, thereâ's an electricity and a focus. People comment about feeling it when they walk in the door. That's the energy of the people who work here. We just have a great group of people.
