Advance America Named Great Place To Work® for Third Year in a Row

We’re proud to announce that Advance America has earned the Great Place To Work® Certification™ for the third consecutive year.

This milestone reflects our continued commitment to building a workplace where every team member feels valued, supported, and empowered to do their best work.


Employee survey highlights    

  • 90% feel a sense of pride in their work. 
  • 93% say new team members are made to feel welcome. 
  • 21% have been with the company for 10 or more years. 

3 years strong 💪

This year, 87% of employees said Advance America is a great place to work.

Earning this recognition again isn’t something we take lightly. It’s a direct reflection of the people who show up every day — in our stores, on our teams, and behind the scenes — and the culture they’ve helped build together.

Three years in a row. That doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because of the people here, and I couldn’t be prouder of the culture we’ve built together.
 

- Jessica Rustin, CEO of Advance America

The globally recognized Great Place To Work® Certification™ is based on direct employee feedback through the Trust Index™ Survey, which is designed to measure five dimensions of high-trust workplace culture:

  1. Credibility. Employees see their leaders as credible and trustworthy.
  2. Respect. Employees feel respected by the people they work for.
  3. Fairness. Employees believe they’re treated equitably.
  4. Pride. Employees take pride in their work and their organization.
  5. Sense of belonging. Employees feel a genuine connection to their colleagues and the company.

Credibility, respect, and fairness reflect the actions of a company’s leaders and how they build trust. Pride and a sense of belonging reflect an employee’s experience and how they relate to the people around them.

What this means for our customers

A great workplace and great customer service go hand in hand. When our team members feel valued and supported, they’re better equipped to show up for the customers who count on us. That connection between us and the people we serve is at the core of everything Advance America does.

There’s a reason 21% of our employees have stayed for 10 years or more. If you’re looking for a workplace that puts people first, we’d love to meet you.
