ALBANY, N.Y. — Auto/Mate Dealership Systems announced Monday that it was selected as one of The Times Union Top Workplaces in New York's Capital Region, the third consecutive year Auto/Mate has been distinguished with the award.

The Times Union award recipients were selected based on criteria combining employee feedback, benefits packages and corporate culture. Some of Auto/Mate’s notable benefits include a company-sponsored wellness program, in-house gym, casual dress environment, community involvement, visiting cupcake trucks, employee discount programs at local businesses, company outings and more.
