It gives us a great deal of pleasure to share the news that, for a second consecutive year, Enterprise Bank has been recognized as a Great Place to Work® in America! Our #8 ranking among all mid-sized companies in America represents a significant accomplishment for our company and employees.


This honor belongs to our employees. We greet this year’s announcement with a deep sense of gratitude. We are genuinely humbled by the collective excellence of our Enterprise Bankers.


The Great Place to Work Award is based on a poll of employees and measures the level of how much they “trust the people they work for, have pride in what they do, and enjoy the people they work with.” Such a level of trust creates the foundation for our Enterprise Family and influences the way we treat each other and how we serve our customers. This positive energy goes out and comes back to us in the form of customer loyalty, friendship and a feeling of mutual accomplishment.
