Citizens Bank, headquartered in Batesville, Arkansas, has been named one of the 2022 “Best Places to Work” by Arkansas Business. This is the fourth time the bank has received this honor and follows a year of progressive leadership growth.  

“We continue to create something unique in Arkansas’s banking industry,” said Adam Mitchell, president and CEO of Citizens Bank. “To be recognized multiple times in this way enables us to spotlight our ‘People First’ mission and culture, which is demonstrated daily by our outstanding team.” 

In partnership with Workforce Research Group, Arkansas Business conducts a survey and awards program dedicated to identifying and recognizing the area’s best employers and providing organizations with valuable employee feedback.  

Nearly seventy years after its founding, the bank’s mission continues to put “People First.” The bank leadership recognizes the heart of the organization is a culture designed to give back both personally and professionally.  

Unique professional development programs, incentives and benefits set the bank apart as a great place to work.
