Employees say:&nbsp;"Amex consistently looks out for their employees, their customers, and their business. During the pandemic, they found a unique way to still be able to keep each and every employee still employed. They take care of us, they care about us as people, and they give us the opportunity not only to advance our careers, but also to still maintain our lives outside of work. Amex is hands-down the best company I've ever worked for, and I won't be leaving anytime soon."

American Express

Employees say:&nbsp;"Executive leadership is outstanding. From the CEO down, the care and concern for the people is felt and is sincere. Flexibility and providing work-life balance continue to be top of mind for leadership. There are broad opportunities to grow professionally."

Synchrony Financial

Employees say:&nbsp;"I love the focus that Pinnacle places on employees. This truly is a unique culture vs. other banks I've worked for. At Pinnacle, my work-life balance is truly supported. It's not just something that management says. At Pinnacle, I feel like I can email any member of management with a question or concern and receive a response. I emailed the CIO just this morning, and he responded within two hours! In my everyday work life, I get a tremendous amount of support from my market and area leaders. Whether I need someone to go with me on a complex call, help with onboarding a new client, or just need to brainstorm regarding a prospect, my leaders make themselves available."

Pinnacle Financial Partners

Employees say:&nbsp;"Beyond compensation, work-life balance is genuinely encouraged, from the CEO down to people managers. Leaders understand that employees are not robots and need to disconnect. This ability to do so exposes employees to diverse worldly perspectives/experiences, which in turn ensures that employees bring their whole selves to work and put in genuine effort/contributions."

Capital One Financial

Employees say:"Nationwide is firmly committed to giving back to the community, and its values have remained consistent throughout the years. I greatly appreciate the company's willingness to support a flexible work environment even as other companies pull back on such benefits. Nationwide is also a family-oriented company that understands we have lives outside of work, and this is an admirable quality. Our culture is second to none."

Nationwide

Employees say:&nbsp;"I believe that Intuit has a unique culture among the U.S.'s big tech companies. Despite a high-growth mindset, the company culture is one of respect, patience, and thoughtfulness. I feel respected and heard by my colleagues across every level of the organization. Intuit's suite of benefits is very strong: 1) Our 401k matching program is especially beneficial for employees on the lower end of the pay spectrum; 2) Our health insurance options are incredibly affordable and prevent me from worrying about receiving quality health care; 3) In addition to a generous number of holidays and PTO offerings, everyone at the company receives time off during the Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Year's holidays."

Intuit

Employees say:&nbsp;"I love everything about this company! We are making differences in people's lives, and that gives me great satisfaction. Without the tools that we are given, we would not be able to help our clients, at the level we do, in these ways. We have many opportunities to grow with our company, if we choose to do so, but are not looked down upon if we choose to stay in the position/level we are at. Our opinions are valued and we are asked to submit suggestions as often as we want...and they listen. I am proud to say I work here!"

Jones Financial (Edward Jones)

Employees say:&nbsp;"This company understands that to succeed, it has to prioritize employee health, work satisfaction, and work-life balance. We have amazing benefits beyond the standard health care plans. As a working mother of two and someone with a chronic disease, I feel like Bank of America has allowed me to focus on my family and health while encouraging me to advance in my career aspirations. Not once have I had to choose between my family and my career. I am so grateful for the opportunities and support I have received from my managers, executive leaders, and the organization as a whole."

Bank of America

Employees say:&nbsp;"While all companies talk about how great they are at client service, it is the rare few that actually follow through on what many organizations just consider a marketing promise. Having worked at many other organizations, I can say, without a doubt, Baird is the most exceptional at truly fulfilling the promise to deliver exceptional client service. There are a number of reasons we are able to do this, not the least of which is that we are privately held and employee-owned. This allows us to do the right thing for clients and associates in critical moments when there might be an easier path for us, but one that is worse for clients and associates. "

Baird

MetLife

Employees say:"This is the first place I have worked where I can chat with chief officers as an independent contributor, and not feel as if I am talking to a title, but to a person who is equal to me. This allows us to relate to our peers and leaders in personal ways, and feel comfortable enough to go to them with questions, suggestions, or even just to chat."

Employees say:"The listening culture is great. I love that the company takes the time out to listen to their employees and take actions to let us know they have heard us."

For me, I choose companies largely based on the culture and leadership, and here at B&amp;B both are above par and go above and beyond to be an inclusive, encouraging and career growth oriented company. I love our name in the community as well. We give back and I believe good karma always brings good karma.

It's a great feeling when you go to bed each day to feel good about who you represent and that you are valued."

People proactively suggest and implement improvements rather than waiting until things fall apart."
