WIXOM, Mich. — Road trips and weekend getaways in RVs boomed during the pandemic and one Metro Detroit-based dealership says demand for the homes-on-wheels shows no sign of slowing, even as gas prices reach all-time highs.
Needing to staff up for the busiest season of the year, General RV is conducting a two-day hiring event that began Tuesday. Nationwide, the company needs to fill 300 positions, including jobs at four Michigan locations, said Loren Baidas, president of General RV Center.
To woo prospective employees, the company is offering sign-on bonuses of up to $1,000 and $500 bonuses for those who refer someone who takes a job with General RV. Its hiring event continues from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Wednesday at its locations in Wixom, Clarkston, Brownstown Township and Mount Clemens.
