Wills Group Named Great Place to Work for Fourth Consecutive Year
LA PLATA, Md. — The Wills Group, parent company of Dash In convenience stores and Splash In car washes, has been certified as a Great Place to Work for the fourth consecutive year.
Great Place to Work certification is based on direct team member feedback, measuring trust in leadership, workplace culture and the overall team's experience.
The certification process involves two key components. First, team members complete the Trust Index Survey, which assesses workplace experiences in areas like respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie. Second, companies submit a Culture Brief, which provides insight into workplace policies, benefits and company culture. To earn certification, seven out of 10 team members must report a consistently positive experience at work — a benchmark that signals a strong and thriving workplace culture.
