What makes your undealership team so special?
Typical dealerships do not reflect the diverse communities they serve. At Planet, we develop elite professionals recruited from the broadest cross-section of society. On our Planet:
· Women, including several managers, excel in all departments;
· Veterans and active-duty military service members serve country and customers;
· Team members join us from varied ethnic and racial backgrounds;
· Professionals of all ages thrive on our Planet;
· And we've promoted Pride since the day we opened in 1998.
Would you like to join this inclusive team, and have fun in a business overflowing with opportunities? We want you to apply!

PURCHASE PARTNER--AUTO SALESPERSON
Planet Subaru offers you a unique opportunity to make the world a better place, one car sale at a time. Not just that, but in a positive and team-oriented environment. We offer extensive training and look for candidates WITHOUT any experience in car sales, so we can provide a pleasantly different and enjoyable experience for our customers. Our team members see their tenure at Planet as a career rather than just a job. We almost always promote from within. We have minimal turnover, and the longevity of our team members says a lot about the quality of life here.
COMPENSATION AND GUARANTEED TRAINING PAY
The work is interesting, fast-paced, and it rewards initiative and problem solving. Income is reliable and combines hourly compensation with a competitive commission and bonus structure. Income for salespeople ranges from $70,000-$120,000 per year and we maintain a much smaller sales team compared to typical dealerships, so there's plenty of opportunity for everyone. We have so much confidence that you will succeed with us that we guarantee income per week for the first three months.
SCHEDULE
The flexible schedule is just a little more than 40 hours per week, which is many fewer than the typical dealership. You'll work just five days per week, with every Sunday off, plus the same weekday off. You'll work most Saturdays because that's our busiest day. And the latest we close (Monday through Thursday) is at 7pm, so if you're scheduled to close that night you can still make it home in time for dinner.
AWARDS
Planet is great place to work, and you don't have to take our word for it. Selected from over 20,000 nationwide, Planet was named to the Automotive News "Top 100 Best Dealerships to Work For" twice. And the Boston Globe also nine (!) times selected Planet from thousands of companies in all industries for its list of "Top Places To Work" ranking, including the last four years in a row.

SERVICE ADVISOR
How does working full-time in just three days per week
sound?
At Planet Subaru, our Service Advisors work approximately 39
hours over three days, giving you four days off every week. This is
not a typo.
We’re looking for a high-level, customer-service-driven
professional — a true rock star — to join our award-winning team.
The Schedule
Full-time: ~39 hours per week over 3 days
Closed Sundays
Rotating every 5 weeks: This builds 5 weeks of time off into your
schedule, before you even take your first hour of paid vacation. We can
explain when we talk with you!
5 Weeks: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (7:00am–8:00pm)
5 Weeks: Thursday, Friday, Saturday (7:00am–8:00pm)
You work hard when you're here — and then you truly unplug.
Compensation
- Reliable
weekly pay plus performance bonuses
- Guaranteed
minimum pay while training and ramping up
- Most
new Planet Subaru advisors exceed the guarantee
This is a career-level income opportunity, not an
entry-level service counter job.
The Role
As a Service Advisor, you are the primary point of contact
for customers bringing their vehicle in for service.
You will:
- Greet
customers and build genuine rapport with welcoming and empathetic first
impressions. Guiding customers to the door of their loaner and car
upon delivery.
- Write
repair orders and recommend services
- Communicate
clearly and proactively throughout the day
- Secure
approvals for additional work when needed
- Solve
problems and handle the occasional tough situation with professionalism
- Always
giving our customers the experience you’d want if the shoe were on the
other foot—the kind of experience they would recommend to their friends
and family!
This is a fast-paced, high-energy role. Organization and
communication are everything.
Most customers are understanding, as long as you are
proactive, friendly, and transparent.
We give you real authority to resolve issues. You are not
just a messenger, you are empowered to take care of people.
Who Thrives Here
We are not looking for someone who simply “provides
service.” We are looking for someone who delivers exceptional customer care.
The right person:
- Is
highly organized and thrives in a fast-paced environment
- Takes
pride in creating an outstanding customer experience
- Communicates
clearly, proactively, and professionally
- Stays
calm and solution-focused, even with a frustrated customer
- Presents
themselves in a polished, professional manner
- Wants
a career, not just a job
Our best advisors don’t just manage repair orders — they
build lasting customer relationships – they build their own business within
Planet Subaru.
Automotive experience is helpful but not required. We will
train the right person with the right mindset.
You must have a good driving record, as you will
occasionally move customer and company vehicles.
Growth & Stability
We promote almost exclusively from within.
We have significantly lower turnover than the industry
average. The longevity of our team says a lot about the quality of life here.
If you're ambitious, this role can lead to significant
long-term growth.

Selected from thousands of dealerships nationwide, Automotive News twice named Planet Subaru a "Best Dealership to Work For."

Selected from thousands of local companies, the Boston Globe nine times (!) awarded Planet with its top workplace award.
The Planet stores have very low turnover so we rarely have many openings. We do add positions as we grow, however, and typically work off a waiting list, so if you would like to be considered for a future opening at Planet Subaru in Hanover or Planet Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Franklin, please send your resume to Managing Partner Dale Lathrop with a brief note about the position you would be interested in. We will contact you when we have an opening. We diligently recruit team members who have traditionally been excluded from the opportunities in the auto industry. The diversity of our team is proof of our success and we encourage you to apply.
