Zeigler Automotive Group is one of the best and brightest. Again.

The dealership group was selected for a Best and Brightest Companies to Work For Award in the Chicago market for the 12th time.

The award, presented by the National Association for Business Resources, honors area businesses that establish and maintain stringent standards and exemplary practices in company culture, human resources and more.

Zeigler, based in Kalamazoo. Mich., operates 15 locations in the Chicago area, including the recently acquired Ferrari Lake Forest.

“This award represents more than just consistency,” Zeigler president Aaron Zeigler said. “It reflects our unwavering focus on creating an environment where people can grow, innovate and thrive.

“In a rapidly changing automotive landscape, our ability to stay grounded in our core values while adapting to new challenges is entirely due to the incredible talent and dedication of our team.”

Companies were selected for the awards by an independent research firm that evaluated them on compensation, benefits and employee solutions; creative wellness and wellbeing solutions; employee enrichment, engagement and retention; employee education and development; recruitment and selection; employee achievement and recognition; communication and shared vision; civility and inclusion; work-life blend; community initiatives and corporate responsibility; and leadership, strategy and company performance.

“These companies have excelled by prioritizing their workplace culture,” said Jennifer Kluge, president and CEO of NABR and the Best and Brightest Programs. “By putting their employees first, this exceptional group of top-tier leaders has created a strong foundation that sets them apart as leaders in their industries and communities.”

In a news release, Zeigler Auto Group noted it has received multiple awards for its commitment to employee and customer satisfaction, including Glassdoor’s 100 Best Places to Work in the U.S. awards in 2023 and 2024, and seven consecutive national Best and Brightest Companies to Work For awards in the regions it operates. These include its 19th consecutive West Michigan award, its 12th Chicago-area award, and its 7th consecutive national award.
