REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. – Provident Credit Union has recently been 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 Jos 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 placed 14 out of 40 in the mid-sized company category. "We are extremely proud of this recognition," said Provident CU 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." In addition to excellent health benefits, Provident CU offers on-site childcare, mentoring programs, tuition reimbursement and in-house training to attract and retain the very best employees.
