Pinnacle is a Top 10 Best Workplace in the Country for Financial Services and Insurance

Pinnacle Financial Partners has been named one of the top 10 best financial services firms to work for in the entire country by FORTUNE and Great Place to Work®. The firm earned the No. 9 spot on the new list, its sixth consecutive top 10 finish. Earlier in 2022, the firm was ranked No. 28 on FORTUNE’s list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For.

“Across the span of our 22 years in business, associates have driven our best-in-class culture,” said Terry Turner, Pinnacle’s president and CEO. “When people are team-oriented with shared goals and rewards, they’re ready and willing to contribute to a collaborative atmosphere where shared focus beats internal competition. By the same token, maintaining a great work environment means every associate doesn’t just root for it but also contributes to it. For the last two years, Job One has been to ensure that despite the many challenges to ‘business as usual,’ every associate felt a sense of belonging and purpose.”

This ranking is based on anonymous survey feedback from among 176,000 people working in the industry. Surveys examined more than 75 employee experience questions, including the extent to which they trust their leaders, the respect with which people are treated, fairness in workplace decisions and camaraderie amongst the team.

In addition to its own big win, a company partially owned by Pinnacle also earned accolades. BHG Financial ranked No. 23 on the list of large companies. BHG is a top source for seamlessly fast financial solutions, funding more than $12 billion in loans since 2001, and the creator of the largest community bank network in the country. BHG has more than 1,500 employees and is headquartered in Florida.

Pinnacle’s focus on being a place where associates, in Turner’s words, “look after each other” and offer that same treatment to clients is very attractive to high-performing, experienced financial services professionals looking for a different kind of workplace culture. Pinnacle leaders hired 119 revenue producing associates across its footprint in 2021 while also recording record revenues and earnings, proving that the model of focusing on associates to drive bottom line results is successful.

Pinnacle’s status as a great workplace is built on its internal culture, where associates are literally owners in the firm, through restricted stock share grants given to 100 percent of associates, and annual cash incentives for all non-commissioned associates, which are awarded for hitting firm-wide goals, not individual quotas. For 2021, Pinnacle paid out $83 million in cash incentives and $31 million in equity grants.

This is one of dozens of workplace awards on Pinnacle’s shelf, including national rankings as No. 6 Best Workplace for Women, No. 7 Best Workplace for Millennials and eight appearances on American Banker’s list of the Best Banks to Work For.

Pinnacle Financial Partners provides a full range of banking, investment, trust, mortgage and insurance products and services designed for businesses and their owners and individuals interested in a comprehensive relationship with their financial institution. The firm is the No. 1 bank in the Nashville-Murfreesboro-Franklin MSA, according to 2021 deposit data from the FDIC, is listed by Forbes among the top 25 banks in the nation and earned a spot on the 2022 list of 100 Best Companies to Work For® in the U.S., its sixth consecutive appearance. American Banker recognized Pinnacle as one of America’s Best Banks to Work For nine years in a row and No. 1 among banks with more than $11 billion in assets in 2021.

Pinnacle owns a 49 percent interest in Bankers Healthcare Group (BHG), which provides innovative, hassle-free financial solutions to healthcare practitioners and other licensed professionals. Great Place to Work and FORTUNE ranked BHG No. 4 on its 2021 list of Best Workplaces in New York State in the small/medium business category.

The firm began operations in a single location in downtown Nashville, TN, in October 2000 and has since grown to approximately $40.1 billion in assets as of June 30, 2022. As the second-largest bank holding company headquartered in Tennessee, Pinnacle operates in 15 primarily urban markets across the Southeast.
