Marc Chini, Synchrony's chief human resource officer, said this ranking recognizes a lot of hard work. “We are thrilled to have our business recognized as one of the 100 Best Companies To Work For," he said. "Our employees and their appreciation for the culture we’ve created here is incredibly important. This ranking is great recognition of our effort to create an environment that is inclusive, collaborative and innovative,” Chini added.

As a relatively new Fortune 200 company, this award adds to Synchrony’s list of achievements since our IPO in 2014. In the Great Place to Work employee survey, Synchrony earned the highest ratings from employees on sections labeled “Great Atmosphere” and “Great Pride.” Synchrony is honored to create an environment that entices new employees as well as keeps current employees happy and involved.

Companies rated in the Top 100 are ones that have achieved a “high trust culture” – with commitment from senior leadership, as well as employees at all levels, and alignment with hiring practices and company strategy.
