PRESQUE ISLE, Maine – The Maine State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management, Best Companies Group and BridgeTower Media named The County Federal Credit Union as one of the top 20 Best Places to Work in Maine for 2024.

“We’re honored to be recognized yet again with so many accomplished employee-friendly Maine businesses,” said Dan Bagley, executive vice president. “To be recognized as one of the top 20 best places to work in Maine reaffirms that this team is committed to taking our company, teammates and members to the top.”

Best Places to Work in Maine identifies, recognizes, and honors the best places of employment in Maine. To be considered, companies must have at least 15 full-time or part-time employees working in Maine; be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity; be a publicly or privately held business; have a facility in the state of Maine; and be in business for a minimum of one year. 

Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process, analyzed the data, and used their expertise to determine the final rankings. The rankings were determined in two parts. The first evaluated each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, and demographics, worth approximately 25 percent of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience, worth 75 percent of the total. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final rankings. 

“The 2024 Best Places to Work in Maine have created workplaces that inspire success. They put their employees’ welfare first, creating a positive work environment for all,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, managing director of BridgeTower Media for the East Division. “BridgeTower Media joins the Maine State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management and the Best Companies Group in recognizing these stellar organizations.”

The winners were honored on October 8 at a celebration at the Augusta Civic Center. 

The County Federal Credit Union serves Aroostook, Penobscot and Piscataquis counties with branches in Caribou, Presque Isle, Fort Fairfield, Mars Hill, Houlton, Howland, Old Town and Bangor.
