U.S. News & World Report named Pathward one of the 2025-2026 Best Companies to Work For.
"We're honored to be recognized as a best employer from U.S. News & World Report," said Pathward's Executive Vice President and Chief People and Culture Officer Anjana Berde. "Attracting and retaining top talent is an important strategic goal that we approach with intentionality and purpose. This recognition reflects on our commitment to building an inclusive culture of belonging, prioritizing employee well-being and powering financial inclusion."
The U.S. News honor comes just a few months after Pathward achieved certification™ from Great Place To Work® for the third year in a row with 84% of employees saying Pathward is a Great Place To Work – 27 points higher than the average U.S. company.
According to U.S. News, its ratings reflect the evolving sentiments that factor into employee decision-making when choosing the "best" company to work for. The ratings then analyze that sentiment against other factors, including quality of pay and benefits, work-life balance and flexibility, job and company stability, physical and psychological comfort, belongingness and esteem, and career opportunities and professional development.
"Workers understand the direct impact of a workplace on their quality of life," said U.S. News Vice President, Careers, Carly Chase. "The 2025-2026 list recognizes companies that received high scores on multiple metrics that make up a positive work environment and everyday employee experience."
To calculate the annual U.S. News Best Companies to Work For list, U.S. News only considered the largest 5,000 publicly traded companies as of January 2025 that had more than 75 Glassdoor reviews written between 2021-2025. Relevant data, including employee sentiment and regulatory enforcement data, was gathered from partners Revelio Labs, Good Jobs First's Violation Tracker and QUODD to calculate the six metrics used in the list.
