First PREMIER Bank Named to 'Best Bank to Work For' List

South Dakota-based First PREMIER Bank has been named one of the 2015 Best Banks To Work For by American Banker and Best Companies Group. The special recognition follows hundreds of surveys completed by employees and a review of the organization’s practices. Only 50 banks across the country are selected best to work for.

“We’re excited and honored to receive this recognition from American Banker. To all of our employees, I want to say thank you. We’re fortunate to work with such a great group of people,” says Dave Rozenboom, president, First PREMIER Bank. “We’ve worked hard over the years to build the kind of company and culture that people want to join. This award validates those efforts. At PREMIER, we believe that happy employees translate into satisfied customers.”  

Banks that entered the contest must provide workplace policies, practices and demographics to American Banker and Best Companies Group which analyzes the information and conducts online surveys. Employees are asked nearly 80 multiple-choice questions as well as two open-ended and seven demographic questions.

First PREMIER is the only bank in South Dakota to receive the “best bank to work for” designation. Only six banks in the Upper Midwest were recognized by American Banker, including Bell State Bank & Trust, an SDBA associate member. View the list.
