The Top Ten

Synchrony

+1 spotPrev. #2

Banking/Credit Services

Employees say:"Working at Synchrony has been an incredible experience with amazing people and benefits. The company truly values us and strives to create a supportive workplace - from flexibility to benefits that support people's whole selves (mental and physical wellbeing, caregiving and family support) - setting a high standard for others to follow. The culture at Synchrony is real - leadership takes a genuine interest in hearing and responding to our feedback. Synchrony leaders take the time to celebrate, honor and uplift each other, which is so important during times of uncertainty. I'm so grateful to be part of the team."

American Express

-1 spotPrev. #1

Banking/Credit Services

Employees say:"Amex has a lot of heart. Good leadership and good behaviors are exemplified every day. Everyone takes pride in their work and strives to do right by the customer every step of the way. Even in challenging moments, I know I have a safe and healthy environment to lean on and a team of colleagues who I can trust. I did not think I would stay at one company for so long, but Amex continues to reinvent itself in the market, celebrate achievements, and extend opportunities that keep me engaged intellectually and encourage me to grow as a leader. Our CEO is as authentic as it gets, and I can trust his decisions and perspective as it relates to the customer, our colleagues, and the business."

Pinnacle Financial Partners

Prev. #3

Banking/Credit Services

Employees say:"Pinnacle is an extremely transparent, caring and empowering culture. It starts at the Executive Team. This same culture is exhibited firm wide with all associates in a sincere manner. Associates are expected to be transparent about processes, solutions, products, other associates performance, etc. This fosters trust throughout the organization and continued dedication to enhancing our brand at all times. The culture committees in each market do not include management. This is another great example of how our culture is naturally executed. Associates routinely donate unused PTO hours to those facing personal challenges which to me sums up what makes us special."

Fannie Mae

+19 spotsPrev. #23

Other

Employees say:"When it comes to supporting their employees, their actions are louder than their words. There is a true Mission above the financial performance. Leadership promotes skip level meetings and in-company networking to help employees build their brand. By far, Fannie Mae is the most enjoyable, fulfilling place to work that I have experienced in my 25+ years in the mortgage industry."

Baird

+4 spotsPrev. #9

Investments

Employees say:"The culture and the people are the best I have experienced in my career. There is a level of care for each other and commitment to the work we do for clients that is unique. I feel supported personally and professionally by my peers and management. I have been given many opportunities to contribute outside of my role and pursue growth."

Progressive

+4 spotsPrev. #10

General Insurance

Employees say:"Progressive has always encouraged me to bring myself to work - which stood out to me over 20 years ago when I started and remains true today. The company truly embraces individuality of thought and encourages healthy disagreement. This creates a culture where everyone feels their opinion matters and is provided a seat at the table."

Jones Financial (Edward Jones)

Prev. #7

Employees say:"Our culture of volunteerism is unique. I was asked to go to a field-lead-training to develop my presentation and leadership skills so that I would be a better leader as my career progresses. From the people running this development program to those participating it was all volunteer, but all very high quality. I feel that I am a better leader and more capable in my job because others took time out of their business to help me."

Nationwide

-3 spotsPrev. #5

Other

Employees say:"The people are genuinely kind and caring people who are committed to doing the best and right thing for each other and our customers. The company also provides upskilling training and encourages associates to take roles in different areas of the company to grow and learn new skills. Many people here have pivoted into roles that are brand new to their experience (example: from a business role into marketing or from communications into a business role) and have long and satisfying careers here because of that opportunity."

MetLife

+2 spotsPrev. #11

Life Insurance

Employees say:"I feel that MetLife is the best place to work I ever had for my almost 30 year carrier. First it's great people - thoughtful, encouraging, supportive. I feel that the company always wants to do the right things. I love the fact that I am learning every day of my work. I feel safe and valued. I have exceptional managers."

Credit Acceptance

+3 spotsPrev. #13

Banking/Credit Services

Employees say:"The drive to continually improve is so unique. I have worked at this company for 9 years and I will think frequently that it can't possibly get any better, yet it always does. From special recognition (unburied life, awards, shout outs) to passion for our dealers (training, reporting, outreach) and commitment to making our team members' and customers' lives the best they can be. Our entire leadership team works with a passion and moral compass that is second to none."
