"Besides having some of the best products in the business, great co-workers, managers and owners, I love working at Carter Motors, because of the family owned vibe that I have experienced over the last 10 years. I came from a food service background, having never been in the auto industry ( or, any other industry), prior to my time here. They took the time to teach and coach me so I could be successful (and continue to do so), in what has been traditionally, a male dominated field. They truly care about their employees and customers alike, and it is obvious. There is opportunity for advancement, generous benefits, and Carter has worked diligently to create an inclusive environment for everyone, regardless of department, age, gender identity, ethnicity, etc. It is a wonderful place to work and I hope to continue doing so for another 10+ years!" - Lynnette Rice, Subaru Automotive Sales Consultant
