Pinnacle Financial Partners Lands at No. 31 On Fortune's List of Best Workplaces for Parents

Pinnacle Financial Partners has once again landed on FORTUNE’s list of 2025 Best Workplaces for Parents from Great Place to Work^®, reaffirming its founders’ commitment to support families.

Pinnacle earned the No. 31 spot on the list. It’s the firm seventh appearance in the annual ranking, which is determined by anonymous employee surveys, with analysis focused on the comparison between parent responses and non-parent responses.

“Associates who feel supported and secure at work can be their best at home, and vice-versa,” said Terry Turner, President and CEO. “Ever since we founded the firm 25 years ago, one of our top priorities has been ensuring associates can practice good work-life balance. That’s why it’s one of our core values as a firm. Recognition on the Best Workplaces for Parents list provides third-party validation that we’ve fostered a workplace where all employees are valued, supported and loved.”

Among Pinnacle respondents to the 2025 survey from Great Place to Work, 97 percent of associates say Pinnacle is a great place to work. The following responses from Pinnacle associates echo this sentiment.

• 97 percent of associates say people are encouraged to balance their work life and personal life (up 1 percent from last year).
• 97 percent of associates say they are able to take time off from work when they think it’s necessary.

Comments from Pinnacle associates on the 2025 survey include:

“I have small children, which can make a career quite difficult, but my manager has NEVER made me feel like I have to choose between my family and my career.”

“Pinnacle puts associates first, and this leads to an engaged and productive workforce. A work/life balance is actually practiced and putting your family first is actively encouraged.”

“This company has an amazing corporate culture which makes for a great place to work.”

“The culture here is like nothing I have ever seen. The support is fantastic, and the kindness everyone shows makes it a wonderful place to work.”

The Best Workplaces for Parents list is highly competitive. In the last year, Great Place To Work surveyed 1.3 million employees, representing the experiences of more than 8.4 million employees. Of those, nearly 606,000 surveys came from employees who identified as parents, and this list is based on that feedback.

In addition to employee survey data, Great Place To Work collected company data on industry, revenue, employee demographics, parental leave, adoption benefits, flexible scheduling, and more. Winning companies were those that offered the most positive outcomes for working parents regardless of job role, race, gender, sexual orientation, work status, or other demographic identifier.

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 2025 deposit data from the FDIC. Pinnacle is No. 9 on FORTUNE magazine’s 2025 list of 100 Best Companies to Work For® in the U.S., its ninth consecutive appearance and was recognized by American Banker as one of America’s Best Banks to Work For 13 years in a row and No. 1 among banks with more than $10 billion in assets in 2025.
