Pinnacle is Still the Best Place to Work in Memphis
Pinnacle Financial Partners is still the best place to work in Memphis, according to the Memphis Business Journal. The firm earned the top award for “Best Place to Work” in the “large companies” category of businesses with more than 149 employees. Pinnacle is now a three-time winner over the last four years, having previously taken home the top award in the medium size category in 2017 and 2015.
“This award belongs to our incredible team who work diligently every day to create a place where we all love coming to work,” said Kirk Bailey, Pinnacle’s Memphis chairman. “We strive to be the best because it’s what our people deserve and because it pays dividends to our clients. When our associates are happy, they pass that feeling along through hard work and unmatched service. Awards like this are proof that what we’re doing works.”
This award is based on research from Quantum Workplace, a leading employee engagement firm. They send anonymous surveys to employees with closed and open-ended questions on culture, camaraderie and other criteria. Average scores from these surveys determine the final rankings and awards.
Dozens of Mid-South companies are eligible, and a handful are chosen as finalists. But just one takes home the top award in each of the four size categories.
The first time Pinnacle won this award was also its first year in the Memphis market. In addition to this local honor, Pinnacle has earned more than a dozen national workplace awards, including:
- 100 Best Companies to Work For, FORTUNE magazine
- 3 on Best Companies to Work For in Financial Services, FORTUNE magazine
- Best Workplaces for Millennials, FORTUNE magazine
- Best Banks to Work For, American Banker
- 6 Best Workplace for Women, FORTUNE magazine
Like Best Place to Work, many of these awards were also determined by associate surveys.
