Pinnacle is the Best Place to Work in the Triangle Region

Pinnacle Financial Partners is the No. 1Best Place to Work in the Triangle region of North Carolina. The Triangle Business Journal announced the ranking today with Pinnacle placing first in the large companies category. This is the fourth consecutive year the firm has earned a place on the list, earning the No. 2 spot in 2023.

"We're honored to receive this recognition in the Triangle, which is a testament to the dedication and enthusiasm our associates bring to work every day," said Mark Carlton, Pinnacle's regional president in Eastern North Carolina. "Awards and recognition like these are especially meaningful because it reflects the deep love associates have for what they do. That's what makes Pinnacle a special place to work and a special place for our clients."

Pinnacle associates in the Triangle have consistently given their workplace culture high marks. Associates across the footprint had this to say on the company's annual anonymous survey:

"Pinnacle is the best place I have ever worked. The company truly cares about all associates and supports us in our professional and personal development."

"Pinnacle is a very inclusive organization. Leadership is very transparent with associates, and everyone is a shareholder from the date of hiring. This creates an environment where everyone is working together for a common goal. Additionally, all associates participate in an incentive pool that further aligns the entire organization to work together. I have never worked for an organization that is so intentional to ensure every associate understands their role and responsibilities."

"I feel valued, seen and like I make a difference not just with my fellow associates but with the clients as well. I have more than enough opportunity to grow and the best support to make that happen from my team and leader."

"Our success is driven by the commitment of our associates to each other and our clients," said Area Manager Natanya Chadwick. "They're the reason we love coming to work every day, and they make sure clients feel the impact of our passion and our culture. We couldn't fulfill the goal of being a best place to work without our entire team pulling in the same direction."

The Top Workplaces list is based on third-party research from Quantum Workplace, a leading employee engagement firm. Quantum sends 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.
