In all, 60 banks achieved �Best Bank� status in this fourth year for the program. To be considered for participation, banks had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements: Have at least 50 employees working in the US; Be a Commercial Bank, Thrift, Mutual Association, Mutual Savings Bank, Savings and Loan Association or a Savings Bank. Determining the Best Banks to Work For involved a two-step process. The first step consisted of evaluating each participating bank�s workplace policies, practices, and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of employee surveys aimed at assessing the experiences and attitudes of individual employees with respect to their workplace. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top banks and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final ranking.  All of us at Evergreen are honor to be included on this prestigious list and proud to be named a "Best Bank To Work For!"  Evergreen Bank Rated 5-Stars! by Bauer Financial, September 2016 We are proud to announce that Evergreen has once again been recognized as a 5-Star Rated Bank, the highest rating possible, by BauerFinancial.
