First United Bank is honored to be named one of the Best Banks to Work For in 2020. This designation is awarded to only 85 banks nationwide and this is the fifth year in a row that First United Bank has received this designation. This program, which was initiated by American Banker and Best Companies Group, identifies, recognizes and honors U.S. banks for outstanding employee satisfaction. Full results of this year’s program are available at American Banker and in the November issue of American Banker Magazine. Determining the Best Banks to Work For involves a two-step process. The first step is an evaluation of participating companies’ workplace policies, practices, and demographics. In the second step, employee surveys are conducted to directly assess the experiences and attitudes of individual employees with respect to their workplace. The combined scores determine the top banks and the final ranking. “We are honored to be on this distinguished list for the fifth year in a row,” said First United Bank CEO, R. Mark Bain. “This year brought us some unique challenges, but I’ve never been more proud of our team and how they continue to live out our Founding Principles—Generosity, Loyalty, Integrity and Community.”
