Great Place to Work® named Pinnacle Financial Partners one of the best workplaces in the United States on its 2013 Best Small & Medium Workplaces list, published online today in FORTUNE.
Pinnacle ranked No. 5 out of 25 on the medium-sized list, which recognizes companies that have exceptional workplace cultures. Now in its 10th year, the competition is divided into two categories: small (50-250 employees) and medium (251-999 employees).
This is the second consecutive year Pinnacle has earned a spot on the list.
"We set out to build the best place to work in Tennessee when we were founded 13 years ago," 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."
Pinnacle was selected among hundreds of great places to work across the country. Applicant companies opt to participate in the selection process, which includes an employee survey and an in-depth questionnaire about benefits programs and company practices.
