Three local employers ranked in TIME’s ‘Best Midsize Companies’ list

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Three employers based in the Ozarks are ranked in TIME Magazine’s inaugural “ Best Mid-Size Companies ” list.

To determine the top-performing employers, TIME and market research firm Statista looked at U.S.-based companies that made between $100 million and $10 billion in revenue in the previous full year.

The companies were scored on positive revenue growth, employee satisfaction, and sustainability transparency.

Springfield-based Jack Henry came in at 239th on the list, making the financial service company the sixth-best employer in Missouri. They were one of the 55 companies in the “Banking & Financial Services” category to make the list.

Leggett & Platt, a manufacturing company headquartered in Carthage, Missouri, placed #345 on the list. The ranking put them as the ninth-best employer based in Missouri.

Arvest Bank, based in Lowell, Arkansas, is the third local employer on the list, coming in at 438th in the rankings. The bank chain was ranked 32nd in employee satisfaction, according to TIME.

“Being recognized as a top-performing company based on these categories is an honor that underscores the impact of our collective efforts throughout the organization,” Arvest Chief People Officer Laura Andress said. “It’s a distinction that reflects our deep commitment to the success of our associates, customers and community.”

Cass Information Systems, headquartered in St. Louis, was the highest-ranked Missouri-based employer at #72. Amdocs, Ameren, Arch Resources and H&R Block round out the top five.

Two other Arkansas-based companies also made the list, with the Fort Smith-based ArcBest coming in at #61 and Little Rock-based Dilliards coming in at #367.

In the United States, Workday, ServiceNow, Ally Financial, Ralph Lauren and Airbnb were the top five best midsize companies.
