Bread Financial received a top score in the areas of work-life balance, quality of pay, stability and (sense of) belonging.

"We believe our people are our biggest asset, and this recognition is a reflection of our commitment to create a workplace where our associates can be their authentic selves and thrive both personally and professionally."
