After reviewing all applications, the magazine staff and two outside judges narrowed the applicants to the Top Five companies. After a review of each of the Top Five companies, the staff and judges awarded CARFAX as the Top Place to Work in Columbia, MO for 2011.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMidwayUSA values our outstanding employees; we pay them well, provide training and development, promote from within, reward and recognize, and treat them like members of the family.
