Provident Credit Union Ranked in Top 100 Best Places to Work

Redwood Shores, Calif., April 18, 2005 – Provident Credit Union was recently recognized as one of the top 100 places to work in the Bay Area. The nod came from the San Francisco Business Times, East Bay Business Times and the Silicon Valley/San José Business Journal after employees of over 400 companies completed surveys distributed by these publications that asked for input on their place of employment.

The credit union, along with other selected employers, was honored at an awards ceremony on April 6 at San Francisco’s Four Seasons Hotel. Provident placed 14 out of 40 in the mid-sized company category.

“We are extremely proud of this recognition,” noted Provident President/CEO Wayne Bunker. “It’s especially meaningful because it is our own employees who have told us that we are the employer of choice. They are the heartbeat of Provident and we truly appreciate their determination and desire for excellence.”

Provident is committed to providing employees with the very best HR practices in the industry. In addition to excellent health benefits, Provident offers on-site child care, mentoring programs, tuition reimbursement and in-house training to attract and retain the very best employees.
