Jonesboro, AR – (Contributed) – Aug. 26, 2025 – Arvest Bank has made the 2025 Forbes America’s Best-in-State Employers list in Arkansas for the sixth straight year.
It is the only banking and financial services company to make the list in the state.
The annual list is presented in collaboration with Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. Forbes and Statista selected the employers through an independent survey from a vast sample of over 160,000 U.S. employees working for companies employing at least 500 people within the U.S.
Over 2 million employer evaluations were considered.
The final score is based on two types of employee evaluations: personal (those given by employees themselves) and public (those given by friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry).
“To be recognized by our associates and our community is truly a great honor,” said Cynthia Kruithof, executive director of associate relations for Arvest Bank. “We believe that when our associates thrive, our customers and communities do too. This award reflects our people-first culture and our commitment to fostering a workplace where every associate feels supported and valued.”
In 2024, Arvest had more than 3,500 associates in Arkansas. The bank has 99 branches in the state.
The list was announced Aug. 21 and can be found on the Forbes website.
