Union Marine Seattle named 2020 Great Dealership to Work For

by Union Marine 18 Dec 2020 15:19 GMT

The Marine Retailers Association of the Americas named Union Marine Seattle, in Washington State, one of the marine industry's Great Dealerships to Work For, online at Dealer Week, the association's annual conference and expo.

"All of our team members work to create a positive and fun atmosphere in our stores and we are excited to recognized by MRAA" replied Mark Helgen, VP of Sales.

Eight dealerships qualified for recognition by earning an overall score of 90 percent or better on the Marine Industry Certified Dealership Program's annual Employee Satisfaction Survey. This survey, administered anonymously through the MRAA, asks Certified Dealership employees to answer 32 ranking questions about their satisfaction with their unique dealership's leadership, management, reputation, customer relations and employee satisfaction.

"Becoming a Great Dealership to Work for is not an easy feat, especially in a year like 2020, when dealership employees were asked to work longer and harder than ever to keep up with the increased demand the marine industry faced," says Liz Keener, MRAA Certification Manager. "These dealerships invest in the satisfaction of their employees, and they take pride in fostering an environment that their employees love to work in each and every day."
