Recognition reflects sustained commitment to a high-trust, people-first workplace culture

GREENVILLE, S.C., June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Advance America, one of the nation’s leading consumer lending companies, has earned the Great Place To Work^® Certification™ for the third consecutive year — a recognition driven entirely by employee feedback.

Advance America is headquartered in Greenville, S.C., with corporate and field teams spanning the country.

The Great Place To Work^® Certification™ is a globally recognized workplace distinction awarded to companies that meet a high standard of employee experience. Certification is determined through the Trust Index™ Survey, which measures five dimensions of workplace culture: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and a sense of belonging.

This year, 87% of Advance America employees said it’s a great place to work — 30% higher than a typical U.S.-based company (57%).

Additional highlights from this year’s employee survey results include:

94% of employees say customers would rate the service they deliver as “excellent.”
93% of employees say new team members are made to feel welcome when they join.
92% of employees say they are offered training and development to further themselves professionally.
90% of employees feel a sense of pride at the work being accomplished.
21% of employees have been with the company for 10 or more years.

“Three years in a row. That doesn’t happen by accident,” says Jessica Rustin, CEO of Advance America. “It happens because of the people here, and I couldn’t be prouder of the culture we’ve built together.”
