Press Release

This initiative highlights the top employers in Maine while offering organizations valuable employee feedback. This marks the 17th consecutive year that Machias Savings Bank has been included in the Best Places to Work in Maine rankings. Since moving into the Large Employer category (250+ employees) in 2016, the bank has consistently placed in the top 5. “We credit our success to our strong culture, comprehensive benefits, and family-focused values,” President and CEO Larry Barker stated.

“We’re incredibly proud that, over our 150-year history, we’ve not only built long-lasting customer relationships but also invested in employees who share our deep commitment to community,” said Barker. “That commitment begins within the bank, and we’ve seen its positive effects ripple throughout Maine as our team works together every day to find new ways to say ‘Yes’ to helping our communities thrive.”

Barker emphasized that while MSB’s bankers are dedicated to nurturing relationships with clients and communities, some of the most important connections are forged within the bank. MSB employees bond through activities like wellness challenges, contests, and offsite after hour gatherings. Team members also engage in job-shadowing programs, offering employees a chance to experience different roles and gain a broader understanding of the bank’s operations. The Bank’s family friendly philosophy as well as flexible time off promotes greater work life balance.
