Pinnacle is the No. 4 Best Place to Work in Virginia

Pinnacle Financial Partners continues to be one of the best places to work in Virginia for the fourth year in a row, and its world class culture continues to attract top talent. Pinnacle earned the No. 4 spot in the large companies category on the list of the Best Places to Work from Virginia Business magazine, up from No. 10 in 2022.

“Part of our vision is to be the best place to work in the Southeast,” said David Allen, Pinnacle’s regional president in Western Virginia. “That only happens when we’re a best place to work in every market. That takes effort–from our Culture Clubs, our DE&I councils, our Wellness Champs, our leaders and more. We are all owners of the special culture at Pinnacle.”

The Pinnacle team in the National Capital region continues to grow since it’s opening in November of 2021. Those associates continue their contribution to the firm’s top-tier workplace culture.

“Associates choose Pinnacle because of our award-winning culture,” said Carolyne Pelton, president of the National Capital Region. “They have the experience, networks and hearts to serve to make our firm successful. Our teams are set up to thrive, and that’s what has made Pinnacle such a powerful recruiter and desirable workplace throughout our history.”

The Best Places to Work in Virginia list seeks to identify, recognize and honor the best employers in Virginia who benefit the state's economy, workforce and businesses. Businesses from across the state entered the two-part survey process that determines the ranking. The list was compiled and managed by Best Companies Group.

Remarks on Pinnacle’s own anonymous work environment survey in 2022 included:

• “This is a very special place to work. We work hard and we have fun doing it. I believe that clients feel it and appreciate that, too. They are drawn to groups of people who enjoy their work and are good at it.”
• “I appreciate that Pinnacle trusts my knowledge and experience and that I can do my job. Pinnacle doesn’t babysit and micromanage, and that is huge for me coming from an institution that did only that.”
• “I appreciate how work/life balance is important to the firm which in turn makes me feel valued and appreciated.”

Pinnacle also has earned recent awards for being among the best places to work for women, millennials and financial services professionals. The firm has won many local workplace awards and continues to do so as it grows. Like the Best Places to Work in Virginia list, many of these awards were determined by associate surveys.
