Financial services firm Edward Jones ranked No. 6 on Fortune magazine's "100 Best Companies to Work For 2015" list in its 16th appearance on the prestigious list, according to Walter Lother of the North Adams Branch.

Edward Jones' 16 Fortune rankings also include top 10 finishes for 12 years, top five rankings for six years and consecutive No. 1 rankings in 2002 and 2003. Last year, the firm ranked No. 4 overall.

In the Fortune survey of associates, for which the ranking is predominantly based, 94 percent of Edward Jones associates said they have pride in the work they do. And 96 percent of associates say that overall, Edward Jones is a great place to work.

The full list and related stories appear in the March 9 issue of FORTUNE magazine and at www.fortune.com/best-companies.

Fortune partners annually with Great Place to Work to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America to identify the 100 Best Companies to Work For. Two-thirds of a company's survey score is based on the results of the Trust Index Employee Survey, which is sent to a random sample of employees from each company. This survey asks questions related to their attitudes about management's credibility, overall job satisfaction and camaraderie. The other third of the scoring is based on the company's responses to the institute's Culture Audit, which includes detailed questions about pay and benefit programs and a series of open-ended questions about hiring practices, internal communications, training, recognition programs and diversity efforts.

In addition to the Fortune honor, Edward Jones was ranked No. 1 on the People's Picks: 20 Great Workplaces in Financial Services list by the workplace review web site, Great Rated! That ranking comes from an anonymous survey of Edward Jones associates and also was administered by the workplace culture experts at Great Place to Work.
