    Why us?

     

    • We are defenders of the dollar. When you are here, you are fostering confidence in our economy, in U.S. currency, and in the financial system. Together, we empower people to grow their business, save for college, or buy their next car.

    • We lead with culture. We know that the best way to achieve success is by building trusting relationships with our colleagues, sharing a passion for learning, and empowering our people to experiment.

    • We’re serious about diversity. Minorities represent 56 percent of our workforce, and the number of minority executives has doubled in the last six years.

    • We welcome all. Our 11 identity-based Employee Resource Groups allow our people to connect with those with similar backgrounds and beliefs, and to learn from those whose identities and cultural norms are different from their own.

    • We believe in family. Whether we are starting a family or caring for one, we make sure that our people have the right support at the right time regardless of where life takes them.

    • We let our differences shine. What we wear isn’t as important as who we are. That’s why we suit up when we have important meetings and wear sneakers when we have to be on the move. But most of all, we feel at home here.

    • We have a life. Our people never have to choose between living a good life and having a phenomenal career. That’s why we disconnect on vacation, eat meals with our friends and families, and encourage flexible schedules.

    • We don’t stop learning. Whether you are just starting your career or joining us as an experienced professional, we believe that learning is essential to a meaningful career. That’s why our people participate in regular speaking series or use tuition reimbursement to prepare for something new.
