America’s Car-Mart Named to Forbes List of America’s Best Midsize Employers for 2019
April 17 2019 - 4:30PM
America’s Car-Mart, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRMT) was recently named to
Forbes magazine’s 2019 list of America’s Best Midsize Employers for
the second consecutive year. According to Forbes, Car-Mart is one
of only four Arkansas-based companies to make the list.
“It’s an incredible honor to once again be named
to this list, especially since our own associates were part of the
selection process. It is the dedication to customer service
and the hard work of our associates that makes America’s Car-Mart
great. We strongly believe that local communities are better
when we are there. We are very proud of our company and
excited about our future,” said Jeff Williams, President and Chief
Executive Officer.
For more than 37 years, Car-Mart has strived to
foster longstanding customer relationships by allowing dealerships
to operate on a decentralized basis, facilitating a more personal
connection to the communities we operate in. The Company’s
operating model not only promotes customer relations, but also
allows associates to experience a high level of autonomy as they
help our customers succeed. This practice, coupled with
Car-Mart’s extensive training programs, has put the Company in a
position where tenures in excess of 10 years are not only common,
but considered to be the norm.
The employers comprising the list were chosen by
Forbes based on an independent survey conducted by Statista. The
survey included more than 50,000 Americans working for U.S.
companies with at least 1,000 employees. The ranking was then
divided into two lists: one for the top large companies with more
than 5,000 employees, and another for the top midsize companies
with less than 5,000 employees. Respondents were asked how
likely they would be to recommend their employer to others, as well
as if they would nominate other organizations in industries outside
of their own. Other factors included workforce diversity,
compensation and opportunities for advancement.
