BY VERMONT NEWS & M EDIA

Business is bustling at Fenton Family Dealerships, and the company is looking to hire about 10 new employees.

“We currently have a need for automotive technicians, sales consultants and service advisors,” said Bob Swartz, CEO and vice president of Fenton Family Dealerships.

The company — founded over 35 years ago by Bill Fenton — has five franchises in four buildings: Hyundai of Keene and Subaru of Keene in Keene, N.H., and Toyota/Volvo of Keene and Honda of Keene in Swanzey, N.H.

“We’re a very community-minded dealership,” Swartz said of the company that supports more than 150 local charities, organizations, and schools every year. “We give back to the community that purchases and services through us, and we are looking for people who are basically good citizens who also want to be part of a company that gives back. We’re looking for honest people, people with integrity, with a good work ethic.”

Sign-on bonuses are provided to employees and are related to the position.

Swartz said the company provides one of the top pay rates in the industry, matches a 401(k) retirement account, offers a generous paid-time-off program and has one of the better automotive health insurance programs in the state. He also touted “a great work environment with state of the art equipment.”

Training is available for new employees.

“We also hire experienced people, as well, but it won’t prohibit us from hiring an entry-level technician,” Swartz said. “Especially in sales, we generally have to train who we hire.”
