And Macomb strives to keep employees happy . This year , the dealership is especially focused on team-building events . Rzewnicki says some people already go to a shooting range often , and this is an activity the Macomb team will do together as well . He also mentions golfing , go-carts and riding Jet Skis .
“ A lot of these guys are into riding , and we have a couple of ORV parks around us . We did that last year twice and everybody just brings out their dirt bikes , four-wheelers and side-by-sides ,” he says . “ I brought a barbeque out there and I grilled for everybody . We hung out and had a good time . I ’ m big on promoting a culture . We ’ re not going to deal with any negativity because that can ruin a whole bunch of people .”
PASSING DOWN A PASSION Rzewnicki and his family travel about two hours north every couple of weeks to ride side-by-sides , dirt bikes , and fourwheelers on their land . He has three kids between the ages of seven and 12 , and he says they love adventuring around the property .
“ It ’ s fun up there ,” he says . “ We ’ ll pack a cooler and make some sandwiches and some juice boxes for the day and we just go cruising wherever the road takes us . We spend a lot of time up there .” His family stays in their camper and spends their time riding and hanging out around a fire .
And when they ’ re not riding , they keep a hand on the throttle at home . “ We have a couple of dirt bikes and a fourwheeler . I have one child who likes to ride dirt bikes only and two that like to ride the four-wheeler … We live on four acres , so they cruise around quite often .”
