I've watched changes happen over the years that support associates with the addition of paid paternal leave for non-birthing parents or adoptive parents; the creation of the DEI team (before other corporations); Culture Club and go365 events whether they are firm driven or market initiatives; even providing health care options for our family pets. Our leadership team has always worked to ensure work life balance, which has allowed associates to participate in things that mean something to them. This has always been what has made our culture unique, strong and family like.” 

“I love that I can do my job without being micromanaged and that I am encouraged to maintain work-life balance and always put family first.” 

“I value the flexibility/work-life balance Pinnacle promotes.”
