CarMax Celebrates 19 Years As One Of Fortune Magazine's 100 Best Companies To Work For®

Apr 04, 2023

RICHMOND, Virginia (April 4, 2023) – Fortune magazine and Great Place to Work® have named CarMax (NYSE: KMX) one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For® in 2023. This marks the 19th 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 #85 for 2023.

“I am extremely proud of this recognition, which is due to our associates across the country,” said Diane Cafritz, CarMax’s chief human resources officer. “Their strong commitment to each other, our customers and our communities is what makes CarMax a great place to work and build a career.”

The Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® award is highly competitive. To determine the list, Great Place To Work analyzed the anonymous survey responses of more than half a million employees from Great Place To Work Certified™ companies with at least 1,000 workers. Companies also submitted essays describing their efforts to offer generous and innovative support for workers, which were validated against employee survey responses.

“It’s in times like these that the best workplaces separate themselves,” said Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “In a challenging economy, many companies reduce investments in their people and scale back goals for diversity, equity, and inclusion. But these companies, the 100 Best, relentlessly pursue a better work experience for every employee, and if anything, double down on the employee experience regardless of title, tenure, gender, or ethnicity.”

Additional recent recognitions for CarMax include Fortune's “Best Workplaces in Retail;” Forbes’ Best Workplaces for Diversity;” the Human Rights Campaign/Corporate Equality Index’s “Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality;” Training Magazine’s “Training APEX Award;” and recognition by Military Friendly as a “Military Friendly Employer.”

Jobs are also available at our corporate locations, including technology and data science roles. Interested candidates can visit careers.carmax.com to apply.
