Pinnacle Is One of the Nation’s Top 25 Best Workplaces

Firm ranks at No. 24 on new list from Great Place to Work® and FORTUNE magazine

Pinnacle Financial Partners is the No. 24 Best Company to Work For in the nation, according to the latest list published by Great Place to Work and FORTUNE magazine today. Pinnacle has been on the list every year since it was first eligible in 2017. Earning a spot means that Pinnacle has surpassed rigorous benchmarks, confirming its status as one of the best workplaces in America.

“We set out to be the best financial services firm and the best place to work in the Southeast when we were founded 23 years ago because we knew it would bring the very best bankers to us and lead to a superior client experience," said Terry Turner, Pinnacle’s president and CEO. "We were very intentional about creating a culture where associates are engaged and want to come to work every day, so it’s rewarding that our work environment is recognized as one of the best in the entire country."

To determine the 100 Best Companies to Work For, Great Place To Work analyzed the anonymous survey responses of more than half a million employees from Great Place To Work Certified™ companies with at least 1,000 employees. Companies also submitted essays describing their efforts to offer generous and innovative support for associates, which were validated against employee survey responses. In the survey, 98 percent of Pinnacle’s associates said the firm is a great place to work and that they are proud to tell others they work here, and Pinnacle’s average favorable response on all questions in the Great Place to Work Survey was 96% compared to 87% for the average of all top 100.

“It’s always an honor to hear our associates say they love working here, and even more so to see it backed up by independent research,” Turner said. “As we continue to grow throughout the Southeast, internal culture has been a constant. Being the best place to work is in our firm’s vision statement, and we couldn’t fulfill it without our entire team’s full commitment to creating an engaging workplace.”

Comments from the firm’s own anonymous work environment survey in 2022 included:

  • “From my first day until now, I’ve been made to feel welcome, seen and supported. I’m encouraged to follow my passions on projects that are important to me. I’m proud to tell others I work here.”
  • “We all come to the firm as individuals, however it’s the teamwork that makes a difference in our success. Everyone on our team is committed to the work and each other in their own way, and everyone is patient with and understanding of our distinctive work styles.”
  • “The thing I appreciate most is the people centric approach displayed by associates and our leaders not only in daily business but in our interactions with the communities in which we live and serve.”

Great Place to Work selects winners based, in part, on how fairly employees are treated. Companies are assessed on how well they are creating a great employee experience that cuts across race, gender, sexual orientation, work status, or any aspect of who employees are or what their role is.
