CarMax, the nation’s leading used-car retailer, believes that good customer service begins with treating employees right. At the peak of the pandemic, every CarMax manager met with their associates to help them balance work and family life. As a result, some employees were able to modify their schedules or take a leave of absence that enabled them to continue receiving benefits. And CarMax aims to hold itself to a high standard; associates with concerns over safety or ethics are encouraged to speak up via an open door policy. “The most amazing thing about working here is our managers genuinely care about us,” says one employee. “They will put in extra time and effort to help us with anything we need, even if it’s something in our personal life.”
