April 04, 2024

RICHMOND, Virginia (April 4, 2024) – Fortune magazine and Great Place to Work® have named CarMax (NYSE: KMX) one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For® in 2024. This marks the 20th consecutive year that CarMax has been named to this prestigious list, which annually recognizes the best companies to work for in the country. CarMax, the nation’s largest retailer of used cars, ranks #87 for 2024.

“Congratulations to CarMax associates as we celebrate two decades as one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For!” said Diane Cafritz, CarMax’s EVP, Human Resources, General Counsel, and Chief Compliance Officer. “This incredible milestone is due to your strong commitment to our values, our customers and our communities.”

The Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® award is highly competitive and is the only recognition that focuses on how employees feel about their workplace. To determine the list, Great Place To Work analyzed the anonymous survey responses of more than 1.3 million U.S. employees.

Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “When employees trust their leaders, their colleagues, and the organization, they become empowered to reach their full potential. High-trust workplaces will be faster to innovate, more resilient in the face of disruption, and more likely to succeed in today’s rapidly changing, AI-integrating world.”
