If you’re in search of a part-time job with great benefits in Maryland, Delaware or Virginia, look no further than at your local Dash In and Splash In retailers.
Operated by the Wills Group, Dash In convenience stores and Splash In Eco Car Washes offer part-time roles that give you the flexibility to attend school, take care of family, and earn additional income.
Unlike other companies who might treat their part-timers like an afterthought, the Wills Group “puts as much thought, care and attention into our part-time employees as we do our full-time employees,” says Senior Benefits Manager Eric Pullett. “We want them to see the Wills Group as a place to grow… [to] to have a well-rounded employment experience.”
To that end, we’ve curated a suite of benefits that puts part-time employees on a growth path towards a rewarding career and secure financial future.
Up to 100% Tuition Reimbursement for Part-time Employees
Part-time positions at Dash In and Splash In currently require a high school diploma but interested applicants without a diploma can enroll in our company-sponsored GEDWorks program. The Wills Group will foot the bill and bring you onboard on the basis that you complete your GED within 6 months.
Then, if higher education is your goal but the costs of pursuing a college degree is a barrier for you – the Wills Group can help!
The Wills Group’s Tuition Reimbursement program offers up to 100% tuition reimbursement for undergraduate and graduate degrees, as well as professional certifications.
If your dream is to earn an associate’s degree, bachelor’s degree, or even a doctorate, you can achieve one entirely free while working part-time at Dash In or Splash In.
The benefit offers a scaled reimbursement based on the grades you earn in class. For instance, an A- or better earns you 100% back on the cost of that class. A grade of B- or better gets 80% back for an undergraduate degree, and 90% for a graduate degree.
Considering the average cost of a 4-year degree in Maryland is $84,800, determined part-timers at Dash In and Splash In can achieve a free college degree without the financial stress that their college-going peers experience.
This savings goes a long way in setting up a profitable financial future – without the burden of exorbitant student loans to get in the way of life.
Grow Your Nest Egg While Working Part-Time
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 39% of private industry part-time workers have access to a retirement plan through their work. Those who don’t have access are missing out on wealth-building opportunities and potential tax savings. Not to mention, they run the risk of not having enough money to fund their golden years.
While experts agree that it’s best to start saving for retirement as early as possible, it’s never too late to save and every little bit helps. For instance, this Vanguard article explains that a contribution as low as $2,200 per year at age 20, with an employee match, could grow to over $1 million by age 65!
The Wills Group cares about the well-being of its employees and encourages them to invest in their future. That’s why we offer part-time jobs with retirement benefits – a 401k package with a company match.
When you start a part-time position at Dash In or Splash In, you are automatically enrolled in the company’s 401k plan and earn a 4% match on contributions. No need to wait 3 months, 12 months, or more for a corporate match to kick in – you are immediately eligible to participate and earn.
After 60 days of employment, you are then eligible to increase the corporate match to 7% – twice the average employer contribution of 3.5% nationwide. The longer you work at the Wills Group and its family of businesses, the more this match grows, up to a 10% cap.
Other Perks for Part-Time Employees
In addition to GED assistance, free tuition, and a competitive 401k package, part-time workers at Dash In and Splash In can take advantage of these perks:
- $500 annual stipend to use towards healthcare expenses
- Free financial advisors provided by the Wills Group to discuss any financial matters
- 50% discount on food at Dash In, plus free coffee and fountain drinks
- A $10,000 life insurance benefit
Part-time employees not only have the opportunity to redeem tens of thousands of dollars in benefits, but they can grow their careers and pursue a variety of positions at the Wills Group.
Our managers are poised to support employee career goals and foster internal advancement. An employee can start as a part-time sales associate at Dash In, earn their bachelor’s degree with our tuition reimbursement program, move to a job at Wills Group headquarters in La Plata, get their MBA, then advance to Director and beyond. The possibilities are virtually limitless. We provide the systems to advance. You bring the determination.
Reinventing Part-Time Jobs with Benefits
Our Talent & People Operations team have spent the last few years reinventing our part-time benefits program – not only to compete for candidates, but to attract top talent who want to grow a successful career with the Wills Group.
The result is a one-of-a-kind package that can contribute thousands of dollars towards an employee’s tuition and retirement account, while paving the way for growth at Wills Group corporate headquarters in La Plata, Maryland.
Throughout our 96 years in the industry, the Wills Group has gained a reputation of fostering a great work environment for its employees. We achieve this by listening to our employees and putting their suggestions into practice.
With respect to part-time employees, “Their voice is equally important as full-time employees and we want to hear from them,” says Pullett.
As they participate in the benefits program and move up the ranks, they carry first-hand knowledge of the customer experience at Dash In and Splash In and can then apply that knowledge to innovative ways to keep our customers’ and employees’ Lives in Motion.
