Jamestown, ND - September 14, 2020 - First Community Credit Union (FCCU) is honored to be awarded one of the 50 Best Places to Work in the region.

Among the topics were workplace culture, opportunities for employee growth, teamwork and individual responsibility, and employee morale, among others. In all, Prairie Business received over 1,400 nominations for numerous employers.

"This recognition is an honor for all of us at FCCU," says Steve Schmitz, President/CEO. "We wouldn't be where we are without our talented and hardworking staff."
