Coastal Credit Union Among Triangle’s Best Places to Work for Tenth Time

RALEIGH, N.C. (August 11, 2025) – Coastal Credit Union  has once again earned a spot among the Triangle Business Journal’s Best Places to Work. This marks the ninth time Coastal has been recognized in the past 10 years, and the tenth time overall.

“Returning to the winners’ list is a result of our ongoing efforts to truly be a best place to work,” said Joe Mecca, Coastal’s VP of Communication. “Being recognized among the top employers in our community is an honor that’s important to Coastal. More than just a source of pride, Best Places to Work awards give us an edge in attracting and retaining talented employees.”

Coastal continues to enhance its employee experience. Earlier this year, the credit union unveiled a transformative renovation of its headquarters. This bold reimagining of the workplace—driven by the shift to hybrid work—created a state-of-the-art environment designed to foster flexibility, collaboration, and employee well-being.

Best Places to Work winners were selected based on an employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace. To qualify, Coastal had to meet a minimum threshold in employee participation. The organization received high marks in areas such as team effectiveness, trust among co-workers, manager performance, and employee engagement.

Coastal and other honorees were recognized at an event on August 7 and are featured in the Business Journal's August 8 Best Places to Work special edition.
