Our Culture At Sullivan Tire
A Long Legacy
Sullivan Tire is a 100% employee-owned tire and automotive service company built on hard work, integrity, teamwork and a commitment to treating people like family. Since 1955, we have invested in our employees so they can build meaningful careers while providing trusted service to drivers and businesses throughout New England.
A People-First Workplace
Our success comes from dedicated employees who care about their work, their customers and one another. We strive to create a supportive workplace where employees feel respected, valued and connected to the Sullivan Tire family.
That commitment is reflected in the loyalty and experience of our workforce. More than 25% of Sullivan Tire employees have been with the company for at least 10 years, bringing valuable knowledge, consistency and leadership to our locations and operations across New England.
100% Employee-Owned
As a 100% employee-owned company, Sullivan Tire employees have a direct stake in the company’s long-term success. Employee ownership strengthens the sense of responsibility, teamwork and pride that has shaped our culture for generations.
Every role contributes to the customer experience. From automotive technicians and retail teams to commercial truck, wholesale, distribution and corporate employees, our employee-owners work together to keep New England moving.
Training and Career Development
Sullivan Tire encourages lifelong learning and provides opportunities for employees to strengthen their technical, professional and leadership skills. Our investment in employees includes technical training, leadership development programs, team-building opportunities and competitive benefits.
Whether someone is beginning an automotive career or preparing for a leadership position, Sullivan Tire is committed to helping employees learn, grow and build a long-term future with the company.
Listening to Our Employees
Maintaining a strong workplace culture requires listening and continuing to improve. Sullivan Tire regularly gathers employee feedback to better understand what is working and where the company can create an even better employee experience.
Many employee programs and workplace improvements have been shaped by this feedback, helping the company evolve while preserving the family values on which it was founded.
A Culture Rooted in Family Values
Sullivan Tire founder Bob Sullivan believed employees should feel as positive about coming to work as they did about receiving their paycheck:
“I want every employee to be as happy coming to work on Monday morning as they are leaving with their paycheck on Friday afternoon!”
— Bob Sullivan
That people-first philosophy continues to guide Sullivan Tire today. As the company grows throughout Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Maine, we remain committed to supporting our employee-owners, serving our customers and strengthening the communities where we live and work.
