The annual survey and resulting list is the leading benchmark for enterprise recruiting programs targeting veterans.
“Our Board of Directors and I are adamant about having employees with military experience at all levels of USAA,” said Maj. Gen. (U.S. Army Retired) Joe Robles, USAA’s President and CEO. “For more than 87 years, we’ve been dedicated to serving military families. To continue to do that well, we have to attract, develop and retain not only people who have served in the military, but the best of those who have served.”
“Military service is a great training ground for a corporate career. USAA, which has made the list every year since we launched it in 2003, recognizes that veterans bring a winning combination of real-world experience and training, preparing them to succeed in corporate leadership roles,” said Rich McCormack, publisher ofG.I Jobs.
Kevin Scott is one of 30 candidates in USAA’s new Junior Military Officer Career Development Program. Before joining USAA, he was a company commander and Chinook pilot in the Army with a one-year deployment to Afghanistan under his belt.
"I've been a USAA member since I was commissioned," said Kevin, "so I've been on the receiving end of USAA's mission and core values for a long time. Knowing what USAA stands for made it easy for me to commit to a long-term career here."
The G.I. Jobs acknowledgment comes on the heels of USAA’s No. 1 ranking on Military Spouse magazine's 2009 Top 10 Spouse Friendly Employers list.
"These honors demonstrate to our industry and the military community that we not only appreciate the sacrifices of these individuals, but we also recognize the value they can bring to our organization," said Bob Lockett, Assistant Vice President Military Programs.
