Rewards Network®, a leading provider of marketing and financing solutions for restaurants, today announced it has been recognized by Built In as one of the Best Places to Work in Chicago and as a Best Midsize Place to Work in Chicago for 2026. The annual awards honor employers across the U.S. whose benefits and compensation set the standard for today’s workforce.
Now in its eighth year, Built In’s Best Places to Work program celebrates the companies shaping the future of work. In a rapidly evolving AI-first job market, recognition as a Best Place to Work helps employers stand out as trusted brands when candidates turn to tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews to research where to work next.
“Today’s candidates discover the companies they want to work for using AI tools,” said Maria Christopoulos Katris, Founder & CEO of Built In. “Earning a Best Place to Work award not only signals to candidates that you invest in your people, it’s a lever to strengthen how AI search tools understand and represent your company’s story.”
Rewards Network fosters a driven and diverse team environment, distinguished by a strong commitment to collaboration, effective issue resolution, and a culture of ownership that supports both individual growth and the company’s collective success. The organization offers competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and an engaging workplace designed to empower employees to reach their full potential. This dedication to innovation, inclusion, and continuous learning is central to Rewards Network’s recognition as one of the Best Places to Work in 2026.
“Winning this award really shows how hard everyone has worked together and how much we care about creating a place where people feel appreciated, supported, and truly empowered,” says Steve Fusco, CEO, Rewards Network.
