HR Generalist, Level 1 - Full-time

COMPANY HISTORY

Commercial Tire began in 1968 dealing mostly with commercial and agricultural applications. As the market changed and the company grew so did the needs of our customers. Our retail customers requested more service support while our commercial customers were looking for ways to make their operations more effective and profitable. We were happy to help by stepping up to the plate and truly living up to our motto, “Big or small, we service them all!”

In 2019, Commercial Tire was excited to become Employee Owned putting the power in the hands of our people. This exciting move now allows the employees to own a portion of the company by owning company stock. This gives our employees a real interest in the company’s success as it translates into financial rewards they see directly in the form of Commercial Tire stock. If the company makes money, YOU make money!

Today, Commercial Tire is 55 locations strong across 4 states and growing; Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Utah. By taking a people-centric approach, Commercial Tire has been able to build a family of employees who are loyal, hard-working, and focused on providing exceptional service.

If you enjoy a fast paced work environment, having fun working as a team, and being challenged to learn and grow then Commercial Tire may be just what you're looking for!
