I'm fairly skeptical about Fortune's annual "100 Best Companies to Work For" feature, not because its title ends with a preposition, but because it regularly includes reputed union-buster Whole Foods Market. Regardless, #41 this year is convenience-store chain QuikTrip, which is quite possibly the finest convenience store anywhere. Looking at the entry for QT, it appears that when Fortune says "best company to work for," they mean, "best company to be a middle manager at," since they list managerial roles typical positions. (Or perhaps even the most lowly of employees at QT are deemed managers so they can't organize? Hmmm.) I stopped in the QT by the Jenks Bridge when I was home for Christmas and listened to an employee tell me his big night out is Tuesday because the dollar theater only charges fifty cents that night. Otherwise, he can't afford to leave the house. I still think QT are consistently the cleanest and best-stocked convenience stores I've seen.
