The Detroit Free Press has announced that the list for their fifth annual “Top Workplaces in the State of Michigan” is out and Chrysler has made the cut.

The way the process works in being included on the list began in June 2012 when about 300 employees nominated the company via a survey.  Chrysler was ranked number 21 in the large employer category, which is where companies have 500 workers or more.  That’s out of the 237 companies that reside in Michigan that were also surveyed.

Not only that, but the CEO of Chrysler, Sergio Marchionne also got a special mention.  He is on the list of “Top Workplaces Standouts” for Leadership.  That’s for the employers who ranked high in not only meeting but also exceeding the expectations of their employees.

“We are honored and humbled to receive such a meaningful acknowledgement from our employees, validating that Chrysler Group is, indeed, an employer of choice,” said Nancy A. Rae, the Senior VP, Human Resources, at Chrysler Group.  “”Chrysler Group is committed to providing and sustaining a workplace environment where employees can thrive and achieve world class levels of performance, innovation, and success.”

To someone who has been following the business of Chrysler of late, it doesn’t come as a surprise that they are popular with employees.  They have been returning jobs to the plants as demand for their products increase and have earned numerous awards for their progressive practices including recognition from the HRC and Diversity Inc.

Chrysler Adds More Jobs for Increase in Truck Sales

Chrysler will be adding more jobs at a Ram pickup plant outside of Detroit. Thanks to a predicted upswing in sales due to the housing market seeing a rebound, Chrysler is anticipating truck sales to encounter a surge in sales.

Not too long ago, this story would’ve seemed like fantasy with both the housing market in the tank and the auto industry in a fast downward spiral. Chrysler has been turning it around, adding more and more jobs to Detroit. This will add 1,000 new jobs with the addition of a third shift to meet the rising demand. Another 250 jobs are planned to be added later down the road in 2014 at a Detroit engine plant.

Home construction is going through the best pace it’s had in four years. September was a huge victory for a business that’s been suffering for so long. Housing and truck purchasing have always had a symbiotic relationship. Another reason Chrysler is predicting a bump up in truck sales is due to the fact that the average truck is now 10 years old. Time to get into a new truck with that kind of age.

Living in New York for the past week hasn’t been easy. The aftermath of Hurricane Sandy is still being felt in neighborhoods that have been without power for well over a week and Governor Cuomo is putting the damage estimates near 33 billion. It’s been a long and rough road and some of the worst photos to come out during and after the storm was watching numerous vehicles washed away in the chaos. Thankfully, automakers like Chrysler have decided to step up and help the rebuilding process along by offering a helping hand to the drivers who need it most.

According to Insideline.com, Chrysler will be starting a new program for residents in FEMA designated disaster areas. Eligible drivers can get a 500 dollar cash allowance coupon to put towards the purchase or a least of the majority of 2012 or 2013 models for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Fiat. The program will be running up until January 2nd.

Along with hurricane aid, Chrysler has a new program for military vets in the Veterans Day Military Appreciation Bonus Cash. This will also offer $500 toward the purchase or leasing of vehicles in the Chrysler family. The program reaches out to inactive military reservists and vets who have been honorably discharged. It will run through November 17th.

Sandy left a wave of destruction in its path, and it’s good to know that there are companies out there helping people out in a time where any assistance is needed. It’s never easy to lose something like a car in extreme weather, but thanks to Chrysler and other automakers, there are options out there to help ease the pain.

Queens was one of the areas hit and has been designated a disaster area by FEMA. Go online to view our Chrysler inventory at Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge. Be sure to also like our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter for more monthly deals on Chrysler vehicles.
