Pinnacle Financial Partners (Nasdaq/NGS: PNFP) has once again secured its position as one of the nation’s top five Best Banks to Work For, ranking No. 5 on the prestigious list compiled annually by American Banker magazine and Best Companies Group. The bank also claims the No. 1 spot in its size category—banks with assets of $10 billion or more—and has consistently ranked among the top two in this category since the rankings began. With $49.2 billion in assets when the ranking was determined, Pinnacle is far larger than the next largest bank in the top 20, which has assets of $9.9 billion. The highest-ranking bank with a comparable asset size was ranked No. 51 with $45.5 billion. This recognition marks the firm’s 12th consecutive year on the list, which has been awarded annually since 2013.
Terry Turner, Pinnacle’s president and CEO, shared his pride in the recognition: “Being named one of the top banks to work for in the nation is a testament to our exceptional team and the values we uphold every day. At Pinnacle, we are committed to fostering an environment where every associate feels valued, supported, and inspired to grow. This honor reflects our dedication to excellent service for our clients and our mission to create a workplace where people thrive. Together, we’re building a legacy of trust and integrity, one that’s truly deserving of this recognition.”
To qualify for the Best Banks to Work For list, banks must employ at least 50 people in the United States and operate as commercial or retail banks or as the banking units of diversified financial services companies. The selection process is rigorous, consisting of two stages: first, an evaluation of the bank’s workplace practices and policies, and second, a survey of employees assessing their workplace experiences and attitudes. The combined results of these two assessments determine the final ranking.
