To pick the 100 Best Companies to Work For, Fortune magazine partners with the Great Place to Work Institute to conduct one of the most extensive employee surveys in corporate America. Two-thirds of a company's score is based on the results of the Institute's Trust Index survey, which is sent to a random sample of employees from each company. The survey asks questions related to their attitudes about management's credibility, job satisfaction and camaraderie. The other third of the scoring is based on the company's responses to the Institute's Culture Audit, which includes detailed questions about pay and benefit programs and a series of open-ended questions about hiring practices, internal communications, training, recognition programs and diversity efforts.
Any company that is at least seven years old with more than 1,000 U.S. employees is eligible for the list.
QuikTrip operates approximately 570 c-stores and travel centers in 10 states.
