Deloitte has tons of vet recruiting efforts and I’m assuming excellent retention.

In terms of promotion, nobody anywhere is going to get promoted just because they’re a vet. That part is on you as an individual contributor

Big 4 and Accenture all have pretty large military hiring initiatives. For banking I have seen peers that have used military hiring to get roles at JPMC, Bank of America (this is a huge program), USAA, Ally, PNC, and Wells Fargo. I work in financial services consulting and can attest that both consulting and banking treat vets well if you put the time in to master your trade.

I believe Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, GE, Proctor and Gamble, and Johnson and Johnson also have military hire programs.

I would hazard a guess that many more F500 companies have some form of a military hiring initiative. Best bet would be to start looking on LinkedIn or Google.

Wells Fargo has a real good program for vets. USAA does as well.

Im not really sure what veteran friendly in terms of a company means. I used to think it was important, but now I’m not sure what to think.

corporations love to contract with minority and veteran owners

Wells Fargo and Deloitte have had pretty good veteran programs in place. But I think there's a lot of space for veteran owned businesses if that is of interest

Amazon is incredibly veteran friendly and especially so to reservists and NG members. Not a place for those looking to coast, but lots of veterans in the ranks and very military friendly for those who want to work hard and do well.

Security companies hire Vets. They don't pay alot or pay salaries. I say do Security until you can get into something big that's going to pay a salary.

Feeling like I’ve been “bait-and-switched”…

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

All of us want the same thing! Money- Flex Timing- Great Culture- Respect - Value in what we are doing!
We, the employees make an organization. If all of us want the same thing, how come the culture of that organization still remains the same! Why can’t we be the pioneer? Thoughts…
