WESTBOROUGH, Mass., Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Great Place to Work® and FORTUNE have honored Cumberland Farms as one of the 2018 Best Workplaces in Retail.

Great Place to Work, a global people analytics and consulting firm, evaluated over 60 factors measuring whether employees find their organizations create a Great Place to Work For All™. Eighty-five percent of the evaluation is based on employees' experiences of workplace trust and the opportunity to reach their full potential at the organization, no matter who they are or what they do. The balance of each company's score takes into account employees' involvement in company innovation, the organization's values, and the effectiveness of their leaders.
