Welcome to Bayou Automotive! Our desire is to create an unbeatable work environment in order to hire and train a committed team of employees that take pride in making good on our promise that “We Do Right...BaYOU!”
We love watching our people grow, and have a strong belief in promoting employees from within our own organization!
Bayou Ford opened its doors in 2018, and was given the opportunity to bring the Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram store next door on board in August of 2021.
Our CDJR showroom was destroyed during Hurricane Ida, with our Ford store sustaining some damage as well. We are so proud of the way our family of employees came together in the aftermath for clean-up and makeshift workflows. We are currently working through our construction projects and we are so excited to be able to bring our community new, state-of-the-art dealerships in the very near future!
We take pride in always striving to be a good employer, a good neighbor, and an engaged and active member of our community. We do this through personal volunteering in charitable causes and community events, as well as through financial contributions like the scholarship programs we initiated with area schools. In 2022, we awarded 9 Bayou Automotive scholarships to local high school graduates.
The extra efforts our team puts into every aspect of our sales and service departments have not gone unnoticed, as we have been the recipient of the River Parishes’ “Best New Car Dealership” and “Best Used Car Dealership” for the last two consecutive years.
We offer a competitive pay plan.
Primary benefits are of high importance, which is why we highly subsidize the cost of healthcare benefits and partner with top-rated companies for coverage for our employees.
We want to give our employees options for the “what if’s” in life, so we offer a variety of supplemental options.
Industry-leading IRA with an impressive dollar-for-dollar company match up to 3% of the employee contribution.
