Company Now Offering Enhanced Benefits
Including Paid Parental Leave
For 14 consecutive years, CarMax, Inc. (NYSE: KMX), the nation’s
largest retailer of used cars, has been named by FORTUNE magazine
as one of its 100 Best Companies to Work For®. CarMax ranks No. 34
for 2018.
"This award recognition is a direct result of the culture
created by our associates,” said Bill Nash, CarMax CEO. “Their
commitment to delivering an exceptional customer experience,
transforming the communities around us, and caring and supporting
one another is what makes CarMax a great place to work.”
The 2018 FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For® list is based
on survey responses from more than 310,000 employees rating their
workplace culture on 50-plus elements of the workplace such as
fairness, camaraderie, development and trust in leadership.
“Our associates are our number one focus, and we want to have
their backs during life’s moments that matter most,” said Diane
Cafritz, chief human resources officer at CarMax. “That is why we
are launching newly enhanced benefits this year that are a direct
result of associate feedback on what benefits are most meaningful
to them.”
CarMax is now offering four weeks of paid parental leave for
hourly and salaried full-time associates following the birth or
adoption of a child. This parental leave applies to both non-birth
and birth parents. Birth mothers are eligible to add the four
weeks of paid parental leave at the end of their approved six to
eight weeks of paid medical leave.
Additionally, CarMax associates will enjoy the enhanced benefit
of additional vacation time based on length of service. The
company will continue to look for opportunities to provide pay and
benefits for associates in the areas that are important to
them.
CarMax employs nearly 25,000 people nationwide and continues to
grow and hire for new positions. The company is opening a total of
15 new stores in 2018, including the company’s first locations in
the states of Maine and New Hampshire. Some of the areas with a
large number of job openings include: Baltimore, MD; Boston, MA;
Dallas, TX; Denver, CO; Houston, TX; Los Angeles, CA; and San
Francisco, CA.
The majority of open full and part-time job positions among
CarMax stores are in sales and service (including detailers and
experienced technicians). The company is also hiring for several
customer service positions at CarMax Auto Finance in Atlanta, GA
and for digital and technology positions at the CarMax Home Office
and CarMax Shockoe locations in Richmond, Virginia.
In addition to being recognized for 14 consecutive years as one
of FORTUNE magazine’s 100 Best Companies to Work For®, FORTUNE has
also recognized CarMax as one of the 20 Best Workplaces in Retail
and 100 Best Workplaces for Millennials in 2017. CarMax is also one
