First Interstate Bank is proud to have been awarded a Gold badge on the 2026 Where You Work Matters list, an unprecedented rating of how well 1,750 large employers are creating high-quality jobs in the United States.
First Interstate’s Gold badge serves as recognition of its investments in the growth and future of its workforce, placing the organization in the top tiers of all companies assessed and demonstrating organizational strength across the criteria assessed by the List.
